Call for Concurrent Session Proposals
"Innovation: Best Practices and Bright Ideas"
Over its 40 –year history, Metropolitan State has been an innovator in adult urban education. What have we learned in this experience that we are sure to carry forward? What do we do to make Metrostate accessible to our multi-layered and constantly-changing student population? What have lost as we have become a more traditional university? What strategies do we employ to address the realities of our students’ lives? How can we do it better?
Faculty are encouraged to submit proposals for concurrent sessions that address innovative strategies in current practice or out-of-the-box ideas for new approaches such as the following:
•
Using technology to support student learning• Accessibility issues
• Hidden disabilities in the classroom
• Social realities of our students lives: poverty, homelessness, mental illness
• Active learning strategies, field experiences?
• How have we/do we transform our teaching to adapt to student needs?
• What are our students actually doing while we are teaching?
Proposals due August 22, 2012
Faculty and staff are encouraged to submit proposals.
Concurrent Sessions are 75 minutes long.
