Official Meeting Blogger: A Post-Immersion Session Reflection

I had the opportunity to facilitate an immersion session at MLA’19 titled Closing the Circle with Reflection: Elevating Professional Practice. Attendees were introduced to a few models of reflective practice and given the chance to conduct reflective writing and conversations. Here is an SII (Strengths, Insight, Improvement) on the session.

Strength

-attendees received a booklet of resources
-attendees were evenly paired for the reflective conversation
-flow of the session was great

Insight

-a small number of attendees works well
-unwind the microphone!
-prepare for panelists who cannot make it
-practice ahead of time

Improvements

-encourage attendees to move closer to the front of the stage if necessary
-confirm with the panelist the day before the conference
-leave more time for questions

I would like to thank Jolene Miller and Stephanie Friree for their leadership on this session. And a big thank you to our two panelists Elena Azadbakht and Lin Wu for sharing their own experience with reflection.
