Embracing Change

We invite you to think about how you avoid, approach, banish, invite, follow, lead, despise, relish, ignore, engage, fear, or give a big hug to change in your practice as an educator.

How are you responding to changing technologies? Changing scholarship on teaching and learning? Changing policy? Changing learning spaces? Changing students? Changing opportunities? Changing minds? In what ways are you or your students or your institutions agents of change?

We are excited to welcome the following Plenary Speakers:

Dr. Debbie Martin and Dr. Michelle Hogue: Indigenous ways of knowing and learning: Two-eyed seeing
Dr. Joe Kim: Teaching for Now and Later: Key Factors in Creating Durable Learning
Dr. Charles Henderson: Obstacles to effective teaching in higher education: Are we using the right change strategies?
Dr. Annie Prud'homme Généraux: Take a chance on Science: Experiments in science learning
