Dr. Leveridge is dedicated to student success and well-being while constantly honing his instructional skills in order to provide an adaptive, efficient, and supportive learning environment.

We invite scholars, researchers, educators, and graduate students in the field of education to submit proposals for an academic research presentation, panel or round-table discussion, or poster session on the importance of experiential learning in education. Hands-on learning with reflection warrants a closer investigative look as it helps students better connect knowledge learned in the classroom with real-life experiences.
We welcome all kinds of topics related to this theme and more, including but not limited to language teaching, teacher training, primary education, secondary education, technical education, assessment, policy, and more.
