About this Course

 

We often focus on the content of our learning efforts -- "the what". A less discussed topic is -- "the how of learning". In this thought provoking discussion, Rodger Bennett and Ed Bowen will use the metaphor of music to present some "Bach to basics" learning strategies. Explore, develop, and implement new and meaningful strategic learning paths for you and your students.
