Discussion Leadership Forum

The focus of the Discussion Leadership Forum is Case-Method teaching and Participant-Centered learning. The philosophy behind participant-centered learning as it relates to adult and professional education will be presented and discussed. Participants will not only gain practical tools and techniques to improve discussion leadership skills, but become part of a network of like-minded colleagues for future collaboration.
