Lilly+Conference+November+2011

As she has done in several years past, Joanne Munroe conducted a full-day, pre-conference workshop for the Lilly Conference on College Teaching, November 16th, 2011, with Milton Cox. Their presentation was entitled [|"Designing, Implementing, and Facilitating Faculty and Professional Learning Communities: Enhancing the Teaching and Learning Culture on Your Campus."]

Jo also presented a session later in the conference: [|"Assessment Incognito: Tinkering Our Way to a New Culture of Learning"]

Char Gore and Alexis McMillan-Clifton attended this workshop, as well as the remainder of the Lilly Conference at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio.

We found many of the sessions to be deeply helpful in improving our own understanding of teaching and learning. Presentation notes for some of the most universally engaging sessions are shared by their presenters below: > [|Metacognition: The Key to Improving Brain-Based Learning]
