University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire and Let Me Learn proudly announce:
Let Me Learn: the Tipping Point to Achieving Success with Students
A Regional Workshop for Higher Education Professionals
October 9-10, 2009
University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire
Eau Claire, WI
Why Attend the Regional Conference?
Colleges and Universities have developed excellent approaches to stem student loss from their campuses “Yet, the numbers of students who are unsuccessful, withdraw from college, or just quietly fade away remains alarmingly high.” (Facilitating Student and Staff Success. College Quarterly, 9, 2).
What make’s Let Me Learn the “tipping point?”
The Let Me Learn Process, identified by John Gardner in 2007 as “the next ‘big idea’ for enabling student success” is an advanced learning system which relies upon
- a powerful theoretical basis of learning and metacognition,
- a set of practical tools (the Learning Connections Inventory, the Learner Profile, the Word Wall, the Metacognitive Drill, and the Strategy Card), and
- fifteen years of research and application in higher education that have yielded a documented record of improving student learning, retention, and persistence.
How Will I Benefit from Attending?
You will learn how to use the Let Me Learn Process to
- understand your learners, advisees, counselees learning needs to a depth you have not reached before
- understand how to improve your students’ persistence and achievement, and
- build not just “classes” but learning communities and teams that achieve greater results.
Who Should Attend?
Faculty and professional staff from all academic disciplines and student affairs units will benefit from attending, as well as administrators who have a commitment to leading their administrative units to achieve greater student success.
