Whether as a means to promote transformative student learning or a way to empower our own professional development, "reflection" is a word often heard on this podcast. For a very special episode of Let's Talk Teaching, former CTLT director Dr. Claire Lamonica returns. She and Jim discuss her thoughts about teaching since her retirement. They explore how fiction can serve as a gateway to reflection (bonus: Claire gives some summer reading suggestions). They also discuss Jim's upcoming return to full-time teaching and how the years-long journey of this podcast will impact how his students will learn.
