Dear POD Colleagues,
We are delighted to invite you to submit a proposal for our 11th annual summer conference, Learning in Action: Innovative Pedagogy & Course Redesign XI, Wed. – Fri. June 1-3, 2011.
Our theme this year is “Learning in Action.” While all submissions are welcome, we especially encourage team and cross-disciplinary presentations. We welcome you to consider presenting your own projects in concurrent paper sessions, in a panel discussion, or through a hands-on demonstration. Submit a 350 word proposal (with 50 word abstract) by Fri. Apr. 8; see our for details: http://www.fairfield.edu/cae/cae_conference.html
This year, we’re pleased to have keynoter Michele DiPietro, who will discuss How Learning Works: Seven Research-Based Principles for Smart Teaching as well as lead morning yoga practice before breakfast. Michele is the executive director of the Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning at Kennesaw State University and associate professor of statistics. He is the incoming president-elect of the Professional & Organizational Development (POD) Network in Higher Education, and winner of the 2008 POD Innovation award. Michele’s interactive keynote will focus on intellectual development and metacognition, providing practical exercises and strategies to foster both.
Located amidst rolling hills and trees on the Long Island Sound, Fairfield University’s campus is one-hour by train from New York City, registration includes receptions, and we provide housing to the first 50 registrants. We hope you can join us on June 1-3, 2011. Feel free to share this announcement with others who might be interested. If you have questions about the conference, feel free to contact me.
All the best,
Kathy
