Session 1: Unpacking Difficult Workshop Experiences
Have you had a workshop experience that you wished you had an opportunity to discuss with other instructors? Do you desire a space to reflect on challenges you have had in the classroom or are there difficult situations that you want to process with a group of likeminded people? These meetings will offer you a space to be heard, a space to reflect, and a space to possibly find support.
Each session will offer a reflective space to unpack and learn. Feedback is optional.: You decide if you want to just be heard or if you want varying perspectives from your fellow instructors. GrubStreet’s guidelines for respect and mutuality will be the approach for these series of conversations.
This event is for GrubStreet instructors only.
