[Mark Szarko]

Applications for the ACRL Information Literacy Immersion Program
<http://www.ala.org/acrl/immersionprogram> Assessment and Intentional
Teaching Tracks are due Monday, May 7, 2012. The Immersion Program
allows you to embrace your educational role by embarking on a path of
teacher development and pedagogical inquiry in a community of practice
for academic librarians devoted to collaborative learning, individual
renewal, and instructional awesomeness. The Assessment and
Intentional Teaching Tracks will be offered simultaneously November
14-18, 2012, in Nashville.

Assessment: Demonstrating the Educational Value of the Academic
Library Track – Discover how to approach assessment from a learning-
centered perspective. Participants will emerge with a broader
understanding of assessment and how to use assessment as an important
tool to guide evidence-based classroom, curriculum and program
development.

Intentional Teaching: Reflective Teaching to Improve Student Learning
Track – Find out how to become more self-aware and self-directed as a
teacher. This track is aimed at the experienced academic librarian
(5+ years teaching experience, in a library or other setting) and
facilitates the process of critical reflection through peer
discussion, readings and personal reflection as a pathway to
professional growth and renewal.
