Experiential Learning Preconference @ #ala2016

ALA, Continuing Education, Learning, Learnrt, Presentations, Training

I have the honor of co-facilitating a pre-conference on Experiential Learning at ALA this summer. My co-facilitator is the supremely talented Dr. Sharon Morris, Director of Library Development and Innovation at the Colorado State Library. May it be of any interest, we’d love to see you there! Here are the deets:

Designing and Facilitating Learning Experiences that Make a Difference: The Power of Active Experiential Learning

When: ALA Preconference, Friday, June 24, 8:30am – 12:00pm
Where: Orlando, Florida (Convention Center, room TBD)
Speakers: Peter Bromberg & Sharon Morris

Description

Are you tired of “Sage on the Stage” presentations and trainings? Have you been to presentation after presentation that didn’t result in anyone –including you –actually doing something different?

That’s because the kind of deep learning that leads to real change happens when we make meaning from our own experience and then design a plan to apply our new understanding to real life situations. Come to this highly engaging program and experience for yourself the power — and fun — of active, experiential learning.

Ticket Prices:

  • LearnRT Member: $120
  • ALA Member: $150
  • Non Member: $200

Self-Care, Happiness, Emotional/Social Intelligence: A bibliography

Creativity, Effectiveness, Emotional Intelligence, Health, Keynotes, Mindfulness, Presentations, Productivity, Self-Care, Sleep

I recently had the privilege of keynoting the Access Services conference on November 12, 2015 (slides available on slideshare.)   I offered to put together a bibliography of the articles and research that informed some of my points around emotional and social intelligence, mindfulness, happiness, health, stress, and effectiveness.  Here it is!

This bibliography skews more towards “popular” books, articles, and resources as opposed to clinical studies and academic research.  This was a conscious choice I made because so many of the “popular” articles contain links and references to the harder science, and I thought this approach would be of more value to the layperson or casual reader, while still providing a pathway into the research for those so inclined to dive deeper.

If there are books, articles, videos, workshops, or other resources that have been helpful to you, please share your recommendations in the comments section.

Thank you and enjoy!
