GE Retreat 2014: Teachable and Collaborative Moments in GE

GEO & Local Events

To inspire students with the philosophy of Whole Person Education, we observe that student engagement in learning GE courses is important. Such learning depends on “having an interest in”, “having a new experience on”, “building practical skills” and “exploring into unknown matters”. Moreover, as we are preparing students with the 21st-century skills and knowledge, we aim to broaden their perspectives with a mindset for interdisciplinary collaboration and to develop in them a character with care to become future leaders. We will explore together how we create such a learning culture.

 

In this retreat, GE colleagues will share their experiences and practices in engaging their students in their learning in GE courses with various methods and approaches. In the second session, colleagues will be invited to share their experiences in the process of designing Interdisciplinary and Service Leadership Education GE courses. Do not miss the opportunity for this enjoyable learning moment together.
