Reflective Practice for Arts Educators (Sampler Workshop for ETLA course)

This free sampler workshop is designed as a holding space for educators to meet and engage with strategies and tools to reflect on their personal teaching practice. Focusing on the process of reflection, participants will undertake activities to think about their experiences, learn from them and develop an action for what they will do next. The sampler workshop ends with a dialogue exploring the conditions needed to develop a joyous and engaging learning experience.

We invite all who are curious about ETLA to join this sampler. Facilitated by one of ETLA programme leaders Dr. Noorlinah Mohamed, the sampler offers a peek into the possible journey an ETLA programme participant would take. Questions on course content and progression are also welcomed at this sampler.

• Recent Arts/Drama Graduates
