Abstract for the conference program
In the 21st Century, it is up to the educator to provide a framework for teaching and learning in the classroom. This provision must lay a foundation in critical thinking and problem solving that will transcend the K-12 and college classroom to career-readiness, innovation, and lifelong learning. Educators will have the opportunity to hear the latest in instructional strategies that incorporate student-centric activities and academic programming that encourages such a framework. Teachers and students have the ability to engage in relevant research-based practices that maximize learning. During this process, each participant in the learning process has a role that encourages true learning. In this process, creativity is inherent. This presentation will provide momentum in the shift and transition from 20th Century to 21st Century teaching and learning practices.
