The Deeper Learning Tracks are very cool, but probably need better explanation.

1. A Deeper Learning Track is a series of workshops that meets 4 times (twice on Sat., twice on Sunday), and is taught by the same speaker (or panel of speakers) Tracks take the workshop model to a deeper level, covering more material and allowing time to discuss application of the ideas and information. Lots of class discussion in tracks–people are encouraged to ask questions, and to share ideas and solutions with the class. Track seating arrangement is small-group inspired in round tables with 8 per table.

2. All tracks have a condensed 90 minute ”Super Session” on Monday morning for exposure to another whole track.

3. There was an error in the registration system–and you DO NOT have to register for a track in advance. (although it is recommended) This advance seat reservation simply helps us plan for accurate class size, and ensures a seat for those who really want one.

4. You can hop around and attend any track session or workshop at anytime–no reservation is needed. However, some tracks might be totally full, and seating is prioritized by advance reservation. The best way to experience a track is to attend all 4 sessions, and supplement with workshops offered at non-track times.
