I'd like to let you know about a unique professional development
opportunity, The Collaboration's November 16-17, 2007, conference, "Deep
Learning: Cultivating Intellectual Curiosity, Creativity, and Engagement in
College.
With two outstanding plenary speakers and more than 30 preconference and
concurrent sessions, this conference focuses on one of the most critical
issues in higher education today-student engagement and success. You'll
learn about current research and best practices in plenary sessions led by:
¨ Ken Bain, Vice Provost for Instruction and Director of the Teaching
and Learning Center, Montclair State University, and author of What
The Best College Teachers Do (Harvard University Press, 2004)
¨ Jeanette Norden, Professor of Cell and Developmental Biology,
Vanderbilt University, and one of the award-winning instructors
featured in Ken Bain's book
With so many sessions to choose from-including a conversation on best
practices with Ken Bain and Jeanette Norden-the conference provides a
breadth and depth of topics with something for everyone. Please consider
joining The Collaboration for this exciting conference and pass along an
invitation to your colleagues that share an interest in improving teaching
and learning.
