May 27th - 2015-16 Focus - Wrap Up
During each of the two Open Collab "sets" of time, we propose we look more closely at a problem or challenge we face in teaching students. These might include grading, homework, curricular planning, collaboration practice, peer observation and feedback. Our hope is that the conversations and work is centered on the classroom and what happens there. For homework, please reflect on elements you think we should focus on; you might also consider with whom you would work. Think about ways to collaborate with those who don't normally connect; think outside the department, or inside the department. Bring at least one idea to the meeting on January 7th.
We do have to say that there may be interruptions to this proposed schedule. We have SBAC testing, we will continue PLN work in some fashion, and there are always other unanticipated things that arise. Nevertheless, we hope to run these as sequences (sets) of time to focus, concentrate, solve and move on.
