Pre-Conference Workshop from Pacific Crest:

Designing a Learning to Learn Experience for Incoming Students

Many colleges have realized that students could become more prepared for the challenges of their collegiate experience. Participants will have the opportunity to become familiar with the existing Pacific Crest Learn to Learn for Success (L2L4S) course design and then work to adapt it for their own contexts. The critical components of course design will be covered, including long-term behaviors, intentions, learning goals, learning outcomes, knowledge table, themes, methodologies, learning skills, activity table, performance criteria, performance tasks, assessment system, evaluation system, and syllabus. Participants will be placed in teams, given time to edit and update their thinking into their team’s design document. Cost: $50 for conference attendees ($100 otherwise)
