Who am I?: Identity in Teaching and Evaluation
Monday, February 22nd, 2010
12:00pm - 1:00pm
Identity-racial, sexual, gendered, ethnic-matters in our personal lives, but it also shapes our professional lives in important ways. It often influences, consciously and unconsciously, how we present ourselves in the classroom and raises important questions for our consideration. For example, how do we perform our identities in the classroom? Do these performances enhance or hinder our teaching? Do we have to hide aspects of ourselves and who we are from our students? Further, given the significance of student evaluations in the assessment of teaching, we must also consider how our performance of these various identities is perceived by students and influences their evaluation of us as teachers. Come share your experiences and join us as we discuss and strategize about this vital issue! Please RSVP by Wednesday, February 17. A light lunch will be provided for attendees.
