To Those attending the Academy in Toronto:
Bryan Mundell (of Bocconi University in Milan) and I would like to
invite you to spend your early Sunday morning with us in a workshop
jointly sponsored by MED and the Organizational Behavior Teaching
Society. Sunday (in many cultures) is a time for reflection - an
appropriate day for reflecting on our beliefs about teaching. If this
interests you read on....

>MED/OBTS Teaching in a New Time: Reviewing and renewing personal
>approaches to management education.
>
>Time - 8.00-10.00 a.m.
Room - Dominion Ballroom S
"A new time for management education" means new ways of educating
managers. For individual educators new ways must be grounded in an
understanding of our beliefs, assumptions and values, in short, our
philosophy of teaching and learning. Participants in this workshop
will be led through a structured process to make explicit their own
philosophies of teaching and underlying assumptions about students,
goals, content, time frames and location of learning experiences.
From a critique of those assumptions can come new directions in
individual approaches to teaching. Participants will leave the
workshop with a draft statement of teaching philosophy (useful not
only in teaching but in job searches and tenure reviews!)
The objective of this session is to enable participants from any
discipline and any level of experience to make explicit their own
philosophies of teaching. This is seen primarily as a means to
enhancing teacher effectiveness. (Secondarily it can be very valuable
when undertaking job searches and/or promotion/tenure reviews.) They
will be challenged to critically assess the applicability of existing
philosophies for the time ahead.
Two individuals will present the workshop:
who are at different career stages (one early one late and who was
the recipient of the 1998 OBTS Distinguished Educator Award);
who primarily teach in two very different settings (one in the US,
one in Italy; one primarily undergraduate, one MBA);
with two different but overlapping, orientations (one more "micro",
the other more "macro".)
This workshop will accomplish its objective by leading participants
through a structured process designed to surface participants':
beliefs about the goals of education,
assumptions about students,
assumptions about the settings and technologies for teaching, and
considerations in selection of course content.
Participants will leave the workshop with a draft statement of the
elements of their own philosophy and a paragraph defining and
expanding each element of that philosophy.
