In the last thirty
years, researchers and theorists around the world have developed
powerful new insights into what it means to learn, how university
students do learn and all the personal, cognitive, and social forces
that can influence learning. We have also developed powerful insights
into the practices and thinking of highly successful educators, those
people who have had enormous success in helping and encouraging their
students to achieve remarkably deep learning.
In this program,
participants will have the opportunity to explore those insights, think
about their implications for the way we create learning environments
for our students, and use your own insights to create wonderful and
perhaps revolutionary learning environments for our students. We say
potentially revolutionary because the insights you develop and the
models you fashion have the potential of transforming higher education,
on this campus and perhaps more broadly. You will become catalysts for
change, within your department, school or college, and discipline.
We invite you on
this wonderful transformative journey. That journey begins with a
project.
