2009 Kentucky Conference on the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning Overview

Registration is now open for the 2009 Kentucky Conference on the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning co-sponsored by the Council on Postsecondary Education (CPE) and KACTE. The theme of the conference is ‘Creating Prepared Learners.’  This year, the conference has merged with the Teacher Quality Summit to offer college faculty and administrators a forum to examine topics related to K-12, adult, and postsecondary education.

The conference will be held on Wednesday, May 20 and Thursday, May 21 in Lexington at the Marriott Griffin Gate Resort on Newtown Pike. More information about the conference is available on CPE’s website: http://cpe.ky.gov/calendar/statewide/facdev.htm

AIKCU Member Registration

Registration is required of all individuals attending the conference. The cost to each attendee or sponsoring institution is $100 per person which includes snacks, reception, dinner on Wednesday and breakfast on Thursday.

AIKCU has been allotted 35 slots for the conference. Participants are responsible for the $100 conference registrations and their own lodging. Slots are available on a first-come, first-served basis, with the caveat that we’d like to see as many campuses participate as possible. So we’ll reserve the first registrant from each AIKCU campus received by 3/31/09 and institute a wait list for additional registrants. (We will make exceptions as necessary for any campuses sending multiple presenters.) After 3/31 we’ll fill any remaining slots regardless of campus.
