The January 2008 Experts Learning and Sharing Workshop is part of the TQE Collaborative Plus series to better prepare teacher education candidates to successfully teach diverse learners in today’s schools. While recognizing that all students present unique learning strengths and needs, the Collaborative Plus series focuses on English language learners, students with disabilities, talented/gifted students, and at-risk students. During this two-day workshop, teacher educators listened to representatives from diverse learner groups share personal stories, participated in group learning activities and panel discussions, and analyzed current courses/ teacher education programs.  Agenda
