	We invite you to join the 2nd year of the Practical Pedagogy Reading Group! This group is open to anyone interested in reading about and discussing pedagogical issues relating to multiple fields/disciplines. We will meet two to three times a quarter to discuss critical articles (no more than 50 pages per session) that address what we do when we teach, what the consequences of our methods are, current pedagogical trends and philosophies, the historical structures/rationales of those trends/philosophies, and practical issues dealing with curricula, planning, execution/implementation, performance, style, and the teacher's body. The goals of the Practical Pedagogy Reading Group are to: Have an interdisciplinary group that explores pedagogical issues in all fields Utilize readings in order to discuss our own theoretical perspectives/situatedness Bridge pedagogical theories and practices Create a space in which regular and lively discussion about teaching can take place Foster a community of teachers and scholars committed to all facets of teaching Readings will be posted on the Practical Pedagogy website two months prior to the meeting. We will also consider for Winter and Spring quarters readings that regular members suggest. Send your suggestions to Cat Cabral.
