“Being an Educator”

CHAIRS: Karen Pratt PTSTA (E) & Giles Barrow, TSTA (E)

This year’s symposium will focus on the experience of being an educator. In many learning situations the emphasis is on what is being taught and how it is being taught. This workshop will be an opportunity to consider this different question about educational selfhood. Bringing ourselves into the educational relationship has implications for the learners we support, the organizations with which we work, and ourselves. We plan a day of cocreative interaction with another international opportunity to meet old friends and make new ones and to share what it is to be an educator.
