Coaching is a transformative, reflective process that can foster deep growth within us. One-on-one coaching for faculty at Humber is here! Delivered by faculty coaches, this service is a new opportunity to help you get to where you want to go. Whether you wish to enhance yourself inside of the classroom or out, coaching will help you become your personal best self. If you are faculty interested in receiving coaching in a one-on-one setting, this information session will help you understand what the coaching process can look like for you. Should this be the right fit for you, after an information session you will be able to get started with your own personal coach in the comfort of your own home!

For over a decade, tablets have been used at Humber to help foster learning. Some professors love them, some do not, and others are simply curious. Whatever your opinion, we would love to hear from you. In this presentation, we will explore both the pros and cons of tablet technology by sharing our own personal experiences. Find out if tablets are the next step in the evolution of your classroom.

In addition, you will be introduced to the latest Dell 5290 (2-in-1) Tablet now recommended by Humber IT. It is so cool that it makes the Surface Pro look like just an iPad. Just kidding, iPad users are welcome to this fun event as well.

Emerging as a radical response to Japan’s militarist education system of wartime indoctrination, Soka, or “value-creating,” approaches have today become one of Japan’s most globally recognized and practiced. Dr. Goulah’s talk examines the presence and role of dialogue in the Soka heritage of education, from Tsunesaburo Makiguchi to Daisaku Ikeda and the Soka schools Ikeda founded in Asia and the Americas. The talk concludes with analysis of aspects of Ikeda’s enacted philosophy that is inspiring Soka-oriented educators to valorize dialogue. Two central ideas are that it is through encounters with others, especially dialogical, that we become fully human, and that the ego-transcending growth encouraged by dialogue provides a basis for lasting, widespread peace in our world.
