[Ohiogift] Looking for professional learning opportunities this summer?!

[Croft, Laurie J]

Dear Colleagues:

Are you looking for professional learning experiences this summer?  We have some great opportunities for you here at the University of Iowa's Belin-Blank Center!

There are two types of courses being offered: Chautauqua<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chautauqua> courses(blended courses, giving you time with colleagues on campus as well as online, and named for the adult education movement of the early 20th century)  and fully online courses.

For Chautauqua, we will feature six separate workshops on campus with additional online components. Participants may enroll in any one of the workshops. Those who enroll at the graduate level for all three workshops in either week-or both-receive an automatic tuition scholarship from the Belin-Blank Center for one of three classes (i.e., three workshops for the cost of two; six for the cost of four).
