Bridging Leaders Program Fall 2023 

 

The Bridging Leaders Program allows leaders who hold dual citizenship roles (e.g. teacher and researcher, hospital leader and academic faculty, clinician and scientist, or others) to work on reconciling their two or more sides and to find ways to collaboratively seek solutions that are win-win for all involved. By participating in this program, participants will set the foundation to effectively lead in their academic, research, and clinical leadership roles.

Innovations in Education Conference Banner
Innovations In Education Conference 2023
 
Save the date on Thursday, December 7th and Friday, December 8th in Hamilton, Ontario for the 2023 Innovations in Education Conference. MacPherson Institute is pleased to announce the theme this year:
Taking Risks and Embracing Challenge.
 
This theme aims to foster a dynamic exchange of ideas, experiences, and best practices among educators, researchers, administrators, and other stakeholders in the field of teaching and learning as they explore the ways in which new and unique approaches, outside-the-box thinking, and taking risks can enhance the student learning experience and build connection within the education community.
 
During this event, we will explore the opportunities and challenges that arise from innovation, such as personalized learning, collaborative teaching models, interdisciplinary approaches, and inclusive education. We will also critically examine considerations when implementing these strategies, including addressing diverse student needs, managing technology integration, adopting new policies, fostering student engagement, and promoting equity and accessibility in education.
