Keynote Speakers
Morning Keynote (Room 114, 9:00-9:30am)
Dr. John Schell, Workforce Education, Leadership, & Social Foundations
"Dr. Schell's research examines sociological theories of learning including areas of situated cognition, communities of practice and contextual teaching and learning. Specifically, his focus is on implications for teaching practices formulated under these theoretical frameworks. His publications have appeared in numerous scholarly journals including the Journal of Vocational Education Research, Journal of Industrial Teacher Education, Community College Journal of Research and Practice, and the Journal of Career and Technical Education (JCTE). His research has been recognized by the Technology Education Division of the Association of Career and Technical Education. Two of his articles were named Outstanding Manuscript in 1992 and 1993 by the National Association of Industrial-Technical Teacher Educators."

Afternoon Keynote (Room 114, 3:00-3:30pm)
Dr. Christopher Morphew, Institute for Higher Education
"Professor Morphew's research agenda focuses on issues related to institutional diversity, chiefly those linked to state policy and governance. He is particularly interested in state and institutional policies related to interstate exchange through programs such as the Western Undergraduate Exchange coordinated by the Western Interstate Commission on Higher Education, or the Academic Common Market devised and coordinated by the Southern Regional Education Board. At the heart of Professor Morphew's work is a focus on institutional mission and the coordination of state higher education efforts to ensure the most efficacious use of public resources within and between states."
