Participants in this workshop will learn strategies for promoting adult development through reflective conferencing. At City-As-School, an experiential learning school in New York City, we have found reflective conferencing to be a powerful tool for goal setting, reflection and, ultimately, developmental growth on the part of teachers. We will examine the conferencing model used at City-As-School and the developmental theory that underpins it through a video analysis and text-based discussion. Participants will also have an opportunity to practice conferencing and generate ideas for using conferencing in their own schools.
