The Intentional teacher

ACRL's Institute for Information Literacy (IIL) has a new course The Intentional Teacher: Renewal through Informed Reflection. Deadline for application is May 5, 2006. The course is aimed at librarians who already have at least 5 years experience of teaching . It "will offer a mixture of structured and co-constructed learning segments such as peer discussions, individual reading and reflection times, and participant-led communities of practice. During the program, participants will examine their practice through the four lenses of: autobiography; student perspective; colleague as resource; and research literature on teaching and learning. "
It is running November 30 - December 2, 2006 and May 3-6, 2007
