M.Ed. conference to draw 330 participants Sunday


“Teaching is a Lifelong Journey” is the thematic focus for the Master of Education in Teaching and Learning’s annual conference at the University Center Sunday, April 13. Approximately 330 learners in the M.Ed. Program and GPDE participants from across the state of Minnesota and Wisconsin will gather at our Twin Cities campus for the day of shared learning.

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