Project Kaleidoscope (PKAL), in partnership with AAC&U, announces the 2011 Network for Academic Renewal conference, Engaged STEM Learning: From Promising to Pervasive Practices. This interactive, hands-on conference will help campuses adapt, scale up, and sustain effective practices in STEM teaching and learning.

The conference is designed for participants who wish to develop faculty and institutional leadership in STEM reform, broaden student participation and success in STEM fields, better assess engaged STEM learning in both the majors and general education, and connect the revitalization of STEM learning with ongoing campus work in Liberal Education and America’s Promise (LEAP).

We invite proposals on five key themes:

  • Expanding the STEM Pipeline through Student Success
  • Creating Integrative and Interdisciplinary STEM Environments
  • Assessing STEM Learning
  • Enhancing STEM Learning through Technology
  • Scaling Up and Sustaining Pedagogies of Engagement
