Registration for the conference is open, please register asap http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/CQ2NQTQ. Conference registration cost is $50.00 for non-FIN/Chabot-Las Positas attendees. Please register by February 6, 2011. It is an event you do not want to miss!

Faculty Inquiry Groups from inside the Faculty Inquiry Network (FIN), from Chabot College, and from around the state will come together March 4-5, 2011 to share insights, initiatives and innovations generated by their inquiry work including: Basic Skills, General Education, Career & Technical Education, Learning Communities, Student Services, and more. We will discuss: students’ affective domain, contextualized learning, moving from inquiry to innovation, changing classroom practice and dynamics, and more!

The conference also will delve into the theory and the process of inquiry itself. Attendees will benefit from practical advice and guidance, including: how to establish and sustain Faculty Inquiry Groups; how and why to integrate student co‐inquirers; and the role technology—including video—can play.

The Faculty Inquiry Network would like to offer the opportunity for other Faculty Inquiry Groups (FIGs) and investigative faculty, staff and administrators to come celebrate and share their work at this conference. If you would like to present at this conference, please complete a Call for Proposal http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/SYZLV6B.

Proposals are due January 30, 2011.

Hope to see you there!
