Collaborative Learning Day 2025

Call For Proposals

“We have a lot of talent and expertise at Kirkwood. We have not always taken the time to share that talent and expertise, discuss our challenges and capabilities, and exchange ideas among ourselves.” –CLD Preamble, 2010 

 

A Day to Learn, Share, and Grow Together 

Every year, Collaborative Learning Day gives us a chance to step out of our daily routines and connect with one another. It’s a day set aside to pause, exchange ideas, and be inspired by the work happening across Kirkwood Community College. 
This year, we’ll celebrate the achievements of our colleagues at the Employee Recognition Ceremony, then spend the day exploring new perspectives in teaching, student support, and professional practice. With a wide range of sessions led by faculty and staff. 
Do you have an idea, strategy, or story worth sharing with your colleagues? We invite you to submit a session proposal! Please see below for more information and suggestions for each breakout session.
