<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""> The OLA Library Instruction
Round Table (LIRT) is gearing up for our preconference featuring Dale Vidmar.
Dale is an engaging presenter and strong colleague, and we anticipate a
rich session for instruction librarians and anyone else who wants to learn more
about integrating peer reflection into intentional teaching practices. A peer
could be a librarian colleague, a faculty member from another department, or a
work partner -- so consider sharing what you learn with your network or, better
yet, attend with a buddy! </span></p>

Collaborative Peer Conversation</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Description: </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">This workshop actively demonstrates
collaborative peer conversation—a process by which colleagues articulate
intentions, then reflect upon the actual experience afterward. The process is
simple, direct, and meaningful, encompassing intentionality and reflective
conversations amongst colleagues. The two elements of collaborative peer
conversation, Planning Conversation and Reflective Conversation will be
explored in depth in this interactive event. We may learn by doing, but we
enhance learning by reflecting upon what we do!</span></p>
