M.Ed. annual conference to be held April 2-3

“Learning to Create Our Future Together” is the thematic focus for the Master of Education in Teaching and Learning’s annual conference at Champlin Park High School April 2-3, 2011. Approximately 450 learners in the M.Ed. Program and GPDE participants from across the state of Minnesota and Wisconsin will come together for two days of shared learning. Jamaica 2 learner’s who are currently enrolled in the M.Ed. program will also be sharing their research at a M.Ed. Conference at the Catholic College of Mandeville (CCM) campus in Jamaica.

Participants will be given the opportunity to explore the fruits of applied inquiry into the use of strategies that support student learning and development. The conference provides an opportunity to deepen participants’ understanding of their practice, explore ways to use classroom-based action research, and to develop instructional habits of mind that improve student learning and promote the well being of all learners.

Anyone who may be interested in more information about the conference or who may wish to attend should contact Suzanne Peterson, Program Director, at Ext. 6615 or at speterso@smumn.edu.
