Workshop: Implementing a Learning to
Learn Camp
Co-facilitators: Dan Apple (Pacific Crest)
and Carol Nancarrow (Sinclair Community college)
Over the
last 15 years, more than 25 institutions have held Learning to Learn
Camps in partnership with Pacific Crest. Together we have
gained greater understanding about what makes this experience so
transformational for students and for faculty. This workshop will
share these insights gained through student videos, faculty
testimonials, facilitator anecdotes, and first-hand exploration of
innovative teaching/learning techniques. Outcomes of the workshop
include familiarity with curricular materials, appreciation
rationale behind the structure and processes of the camp, tips for
layering assessment and sustaining participant focus, use of
competitive events, techniques for challenging learning performance,
mentoring, peer coaching, and facilitating active learning. Workshop
activities will produce stronger understanding of principles that
can be transferred from Learning to Learn Camps to freshman
orientations, freshmen seminars, summer bridge programs, and faculty
development programs at any institution.

Opening Plenary:

Larry Michaelsen, University of Central Missouri
|
|
A renowned author and professor of management, Larry Michaelsen
pioneered the development of Team-Based Learning with a focus
upon the key characteristics of effective team assignments. In
the plenary session, as well as the breakout sessions which he
will lead, you will be engaged in a series of activities that
demonstrate why most problems with learning groups are caused by
poorly designed assignments. In addition, four key factors will
enable you to design group assignments that:
-
are effective for developing students application of
critical-thinking skills,
-
promote positive student attitudes about group work,
-
can be graded easily and fairly and,
-
can be used with any level of students and in classes of
several hundred students.

Plenary
session:

How can problems be solved in real time? During this plenary Dr. Apple will work
with a panel of experts to address an issue facing higher education today. The
goal will be to make meaningful progress on a solution as the audience observes
how a problem solving methodology (Faculty Guidebook 2.2.6: Overview of
Problem Solving) is utilized in real time. The session will conclude with
assessment reports by the audience, the experts, and facilitator. Attention will
be given to the quality of the solution developed as well as the solution
process itself.

Plenary session:
|
Don Saari, University
of California, Irvine |
|
A distinguished professor of mathematics and
economics, Don Saari will offer a plenary and breakout session, which will
engage the audience in the application of mathematics in solving serious and
complex problems we currently face. Furthermore, he will emphasize techniques
for equipping and empowering students to solve problems that we can barely
imagine today. In What the Best College Teachers Do, Ken Bain paints a
picture of Don Saaris teaching on the first page of his book. He writes that
Saari uses a mixture of humor, storytelling, and questioning so that his
calculus students think they invented calculus. As a researcher, Saari
combines his two disciplines (mathematics and economics) in a fascinating
analysis of real-world problems, ranging from elections and the mysteries of
voting to more esoteric problems, such as Newton's N-body problem and the
evolution of the universe.
