The Keynote speaker is Dr. Margarete Imhof, current president of the International Listening Association and an Educational Psychology professor from Johann Wolfgang Goethe University, Frankfurt, Germany, who researches the connections between listening and thinking in the classroom. Her recent research looks at the cognitive connections needed to help students be better listeners. This is something most of us would really appreciate knowing! Remember that the theme is an organizing
point for the convention, and it offers a kickoff for the convention.
Your submissions need not necessarily address either stories or listening!
We encourage you to continue to share the wonderful things you and your
students are doing in your individual institutions! Submit convention
session ideas to Marilyn Shaw at marilyn.shaw@uni.edu before May 15, 2008. |
