Please join us for the professional development workshop "Learning about Learning in the Workplace and Beyond," presented by John Draeger, associate professor of philosophy and director of the Teaching and Learning Center, on Wednesday, April 4, from 9:00 to 11:00 a.m. in Butler Library 181B.

This workshop will focus on learning about our own learning, in particular, the metacognitive ability to adapt learning from one context to another, which is a key goal in higher education and a skill many industries report wanting in their employees. This interactive session explores the premise that if we are metacognitively aware of our learning strategies, then we can be more effective in almost everything we do. It offers strategies that can help individuals become more aware of their learning (e.g., self-monitoring) and how to use that awareness to guide their practice (e.g., self-regulation). With these strategies in hand, we will be better prepared for a lifetime of learning in the classroom, in the workplace, and beyond.

Breakfast will be provided, sponsored by the Buffalo State chapter of United University Professions (UUP). Please register through the Workshop Registration System.
