Critical Pedagogy in Professional Development

# data[].attributes.body
In January we plan a session where we'll discuss how critical pedagogy can help provide a framework for educators in their own professional development process. We look through the lens and the principles of critical pedagogy to help us reflect on our practice and begin questioning our role in helping our students and also ourselves become critically conscious and develop a sense of agency in our practice - As teachers working in the classroom, but also as writers, engaging with other professionals and expanding our reach and building our network.

In November we are planning a session on the power and the role of giving and receiving feedback in writing and getting published. We will explore the role of recursive feedback in the writing and publishing process. Whether you are a novice or seasoned writer, we hope you will join the conversation and discussion.

The Research Writers Interest Group (RW-IG) provides a place for members (teachers and graduate students) who have an interest in academic writing to discuss current issues, post favorite resources, and generally discuss academic writing. The group first met at the 2019 Annual Conference in San Jose with well-season writers and those new to writing for academic publications and other writing purposes. The RW-IG is active in hosting webinars 3-4 times a year on topics related to the mechanics of writing, the publishing process, developing oneself as a writer and avenues for accessible publication for new and seasoned writers.
