REGIONAL PLTL PRESENTATIONS The central goal of the new Peer-Led Team Learning (PLTL) National Dissemination Grant is to "build the national network" of PLTL leaders, faculty and learning specialists. That national network organizes local connections into a complex structure. Each continuing participant in PLTL is a potential connection in the national network. Although the organization is important, the potential of the network derives from the distributed, local connections. Accordingly, the PLTL National Dissemination Project invites proposals for regional PLTL workshops and meetings. The purpose is to use local knowledge and linkages to develop, disseminate and promote PLTL. A workshop could bring colleagues together from a single discipline or across disciplines, within a single institution or across institutions. The one-day workshop ("drive-in") model developed by the community college group is a useful way to think about organizing a meeting across institutions. Regardless of the specific constituency, a regional workshop should meet for the better part of a day, be built around a readily identifiable theme and aimed at specific outcomes.  Such a meeting might involve one or two experienced practitioners offering a workshop on PLTL to help neighbors get interested or started. Other workshops could focus on leader-leader interactions to help novice leaders, leader training to exchange best practices or ways to integrate PLTL into future teacher and faculty development. To encourage and support such Regional Presentations, the Project is offering $500 to help defray the costs of a meeting. Please complete the application and forward it to the PLTL Office at City College of New York (details are included on the form). Your proposal will receive a response within two weeks of the date it is received. At the conclusion of the conference/workshop/meeting, you will submit a brief report (with attachments) regarding the event for repayment of expenses. Questions? Please write to AE Dreyfuss.
