The Hall of Innovation provides easy access for conference attendees to share favorite teaching/learning that promote better student and program outcomes. All you have to do is bring along some Powerpoint poster elements (we can arrange to have these printed) that can be placed on poster boards (that we supply). The purpose of the session is to invite interaction with other participants that can both disseminate and further refine these practices as well as support networking among conference-goers. We will have two 45 minute poster viewing groups, so if you do a poster you will still have plenty of time to visit other posters. Go ahead and take the risk! Reserve a spot in the Hall of Innovation by emailing Priscilla Burks  or Jennifer Yates. (You can also visit the Poster specifications online.)

Hi important Process Educators, Dan Apple here.

I want to keep you appraised of a new event that Pacific Crest will be facilitating sometime soon in 2019: a Self-Growth Institute.

The experiences of 2018/2019 year where a community of 35 Process Education Academy Members spent the year in a Self-growth community working together to advance self-growth capacity has unlocked many new insights and barriers to the self-growth process. Starting with the Professional Guide to Self-Growth, research around self-growth, the advancements made to the Academic Recovery Course (face-to-face and online), the new CLS, advancements in Learning to Learn Facilitation, and proposed new Training the Trainers program for GE has all come together to produce what will be our most powerful event yet.

I will be looking for a host college over the next three weeks. I will be recruiting 10 mentors  (already 5 have agreed to mentor) and 50 participants. I want to hold this event this summer if I can pull it off. There is no way that a 5-day event can be held but in the summer and I don’t want to wait till next summer. 

The outcomes for this event is to increase the participants learning performance as much as possible during the 5 days (going for at least 50% if not much more), help participants internalize the self-growth methodology and strengthen the newly identified 32 self-growth learning skills which are the hardest to develop in people. Additionally, I want to strengthen the mentoring of learning performance development (Key component of a Learning to Learn Facilitator performance) and especially advance the development of mentoring of self-growth development.

Much of the thinking of this Self-growth Institute will be on display by the many contributors to this year’s PE Conference. We currently have 80 people involved and it would be great now for you to help recruit participants either online or come to Mobile to experience the wonderful community that will be there.
