Our Philosophy
The Winter Institute embodies a learning assistance philosophy - enhancing new learning experiences while providing support for the individuals involved.
The Winter Institute experience is significantly different from most conferences. Participants attend a series of plenary sessions (rather than concurrent), discuss topics within and between mentor groups, and at the closing session, are given time to create "next steps" of action. The focus is on learning and sharing to make a meaningful difference when participants return to their institutions.
A series of ten phrases characterize Winter Institute learning opportunities, and set the event apart from most professional conferences.
