Loleen Berdahl (University of Saskatchewan) and Samanti Kulatilake (Mount Royal University) have shared a new resource that aims to help instructors find more joy in the teaching experience. Berdahl and Kulatilake were part of a group of instructors who collaboratively created The Joy of Learning reflection space, a journal designed for reflection on teaching. This free resource includes 148 colour pages with space for journaling, interspersed with time-saving tips, reflection prompts, recommended readings, quotations, and stories. The resource can be used in a variety of ways, including as a reflection tool for a single semester or as a regular journal or planner. Instructors can also foster community by creating a Joy of Learning coffee club that meets to discuss topics in the journal.
