Instruction Section Discussion Forum 1997

Sponsored by the Instruction for Diverse Populations and Continuing Education Committees, this discussion will focus on ways to make our instruction accessible to the diverse learning styles of our patrons and the ways patrons can adjust to the teaching styles of their instructors. Brief opening remarks will be made by Kriza Jennings, Consultant for Diversity and Minority Recruitment/Retention, and Katherine Branch of the Anne Arundel Community College. Ms. Jennings will address the necessity of identifying the needs and learning styles of diverse populations. Ms. Branch will describe the 4MAT approach for addressing diverse learning styles. The discussion will be moderated by Gerald Holmes, University of Cincinnati Libraries. Participants in the Discussion Forum will have an opportunity to share experiences as well as gather techniques and tips for improving their instruction.

The Forum will take place on Sunday, February 16, 1997, from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. Check the Midwinter Meeting program for the exact location. Bring your questions and suggestions and join us for a lively discussion.
