"Does Progressive Higher Education have a Future as well as a Past?" (PDF/12KB) October 1, 2008 1:30-4:30pm
Please join facilitators Xenia Coulter, Alan Mandell, Carla Payne, and Corky Reinhart for what we expect to be a lively, open-ended, question-filled conversation that seeks to take seriously both our commitments as alternative-experimenting adult educators and our openness to new forms of teaching and learning offered by new (and always emerging) information technologies. |

The Alliance is pleased to announce that we have scheduled a build on Saturday, Oct 4th with Habitat for Humanity. At the end of the day there will be a workshop on service learning, justice over philanthropy, and experiential learning. Details will follow as the Conference planning continues.
Also consider adding on a mini-vacation after the conference this year. Stay and witness a wonderful collection of talent at Mobile's Bayfest 2008, October 3, 4 and 5. One might consider the Newport or Monterey Jazz Fests superb but be prepared for spectacular entertainment! |
