Join the Slow Read:
Read a little. Think together. We hope you’ll join us.
This year's "slow read" features Ken Bain’s What the Best College Teachers Do. We’ll read just a few chapters at a time, then gather for conversation about teaching, learning, and what Bain’s ideas might mean for our own work with students.
How the Slow Read Works
How the Slow Read Works
No rush, no pressure to finish the book all at once--just slowing reading and three gatherings for lunch and conversation about a few chapters at a time.
On Mon, Nov 2, from 12–1 pm, we'll gather on the Denton campus in the Faculty Commons (MCL 8th floor), with Zoom available for Houston and Dallas. We'll start by reading Chapters 1 and 2.
On Fri, Jan 8, 12-pm, we'll gather to discuss chapters 3 through 6 on.
On Fri, April 2, 12-1pm, we'll finish the book (chapter 7 and Epilogue).
The book is available online through the TWU library (here or at https://bit.ly/WTBCTD). We'll also have a limited number of hard copies available at the November gathering.
👉 👉 Register here by October 16 👈👈
This slow read is sponsored by the Faculty Commons and First-Year Experience.
