Wed, 15 Jan 2025 9:30 AM - 4:30 PM
Want to spend some distraction-free time before the semester begins finalizing your syllabus? (Or, let’s be honest, frantically creating one?) Setting up your gradebook? Making a new assignment? Crafting those lectures? Planning out your schedule?
Join us for Teaching Time at the JMU Farm, where you can make progress on any teaching-related tasks that will help you feel confident moving into the spring semester.
Located 20 minutes from the main campus, the JMU Farm facility offers 30 acres of nature, including a view of the river and plenty of green space (or, if it’s snowed, plenty of white space). Participants can choose to attend for the entire day or any portion of the day, for self-directed work time and the opportunity to consult individually with members of the CFI teaching team.
Lunch, snacks, and coffee/tea will be provided. Please include any accessibility needs, including dietary restrictions, in your profile (submit with your registration account setup).
Space is limited!
NOTE: The main floor of the home is accessible, but stairs are required to access the second floor.
Date & Time: Wednesday, 1/15, 9:30 AM - 4:30 PM
Location: JMU Farm
Facilitator: Emily Gravett, CFI & CAL
Genre: Retreat
