For those attending APPAM’s 2015 conference in Miami, I have compiled a list of sessions related to education that sparked my interest.  Admittedly, there are many other great education related sessions that either don’t align with my own research interests or conflicted due to scheduling.  Nevertheless, this list may provide potential sessions of interest.
