Crafting Resilience
In Our Students and Community
The Art and Science of Teaching and Learning

Friday, March 7, 2014
8:30 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.
De Anza College, Conference Rooms A & B
 

All De Anza staff, faculty, and administrators are encouraged to submit proposals consistent with the conference theme to explore questions around fostering resilience on the De Anza Campus.

Resilience is the ability to generate new workable ways of

doing things as the situation changes and unfolds.

Conference Session format options include: questionshop, performance, activity, workshop, exhibit, panel, and lecture. At least half of each session should be interactive peer engagement. Trained student facilitators have become an integral part of this conference and are eager to work with presenters to facilitate these sessions.

Topics to provoke your imagination:

  • Using resilience approaches to teaching and learning in the sciences
  • Leveraging cultural resilience in the classroom and community
  • Promoting a climate of civility on the De Anza campus
  • Using students’ artistic intelligence in the classroom
