A pre-conference institute
June 19 - 21, 2017
When we believe in learners, they begin to believe in themselves! The challenge is demonstrating our belief...
This 3-day institute will help participants discover
ways to turn their courses into
growth environments
where students are willing to get outside their comfort
zones, take risks, and appreciate that failure can be
a productive step on the road to success. Participants
will learn that having high expectations communicates
belief in the potential of students to grow and succeed
and that a classroom culture of assessment (including
reflective practices and self-assessment) is the key
to improvement. Participants will increase their ability
to mentor and assess student learning skills (and learning
processes!) to improve student performance in reading,
learning, problem solving, and writing. As part of the
learning-to-learn curriculum, participa
nts will learn
to create and use facilitation plans and learn how to
get students to come to class not only prepared, but
ready to actively learn and collaborate with other students.
Participants will also learn how to shift ownership
of learning to the students, allowing them to take responsibility
for their own learning and growth...becoming
self-growers.
