Learning about our selves: Part 1 – Who are we? (April 2004)
We will begin to explore our backgrounds as they relate to learning. Where did you grow up? How would you describe your early educational experiences? How might you describe you learning style? Who were your early influences? What kind of a student were you? Describe your graduate school experience? What experiences outside of the classroom had a major impact on your life? Why did you become a teacher?

Learning about our selves: Part 2 – How does “who we are” impact “how we teach?” (April 2004)
How do our identities and experiences impact “how we teach”? We will examine the influence that our experiences and such factors as age, gender, ethnicity, sexuality, and class have had, and continue to have, on our teaching.

Learning about our selves: Part 3 – How can we use this information to become better teachers? (May 2004)
In this final session, we will concentrate on application. Given what we have uncovered about our identities and backgrounds and how they impact our teaching, how can we become better instructors? What positive aspects of our teaching can we make even stronger? What aspects of our teaching might we improve and how might we do it?
