Janet Moore: Using Dialogue and Reflection to Create Sustainability Education
Everyone is welcome to attend a short presentation on the use of dialogue and reflection in 3 undergraduate courses focusing on sustainability and community engagement. I will describe in detail how I have used reflection and dialogue to enhance student and instructor learning with the aim of enabling sustainability education. The 3 courses outlined are: Action and Awareness: Focus on Urban Sustainability, Undergraduate Semester in Dialogue: Social Enterprise for Sustainable Community Development and the Summer Institute in Dialogue- Being about Action: Local Leaders, Global Futures.
Working definitions of reflection, dialogue and sustainability education will be presented with the intention of engaging the group in a dialogue about these concepts. The short presentation will be followed by a dialogue focusing on how instructors can integrate reflection and dialogue into university courses to enhance student and community learning.
Outcomes of the session will include strategies for implementing reflection and dialogue in university classrooms and participation in a real?time dialogue. Participants will be encouraged to reflect at the end of the dialogue session on personal learning from the session. There will also be time to engage in a conversation about how participants can become more involved with the Undergraduate Semester in Dialogue Program.
