Welcome!
The Great Lakes Conference on Teaching & Learning will be held Sunday, May 23 through Tuesday, May 25, 2010 at the Comfort Inn & Suites Hotel and Conference Center in Mt. Pleasant, Michigan.
This third annual conference is designed for educators concerned about creating the best possible learning environments for students. There is a great deal of evidence and experience related to student learning, and this event is designed to bring educators together to learn from one another. Presenters will share knowledge and practice, and facilitate lively discussions.
Participants will have the opportunity learn about the great work being done by others, during both formal sessions, and more informal times, such as meals and social events.
