Selection process
Educational programs are designed to accommodate a variety of learning formats including traditional instruction, case studies, panel discussions, facilitated networking/sharing, and innovative approaches. Sessions featuring LeadingAge Kansas members or highlighting their innovative practices are encouraged. This year, we are placing a strong emphasis on sessions that are interactive, application-based or use innovative teaching methods as well as sessions that help our members with innovation, future planning, and solving current challenges. Need inspiration, take a look at this list of topic ideas.
Our education planning team is very interested in sessions with active learning activities, like hands-on exercises, case studies, simulations, etc. If you are selected to present, our team might work with you to integrate active learning activities into your session, if they are not already present.
