I got behind on my meeting oulines, so sent briefer versions by email. Here is the one for this meeting:
Hello CBI-ers,
I'm a couple hours behind. After all, when a 23-year-old daughter living away from home does bring home a Young Man to have dinner and meet her parents, a father should spend a few hours paying attention to that.
Topics for tomorrow:
1) The much-postponed second half of the presentation about the Humboldt Project (think CBI for Earth day; think school garden)
2) More about Team-Based Learning
3) More about assessing student learning, including a cautionary tale of woe about a recent office visit
4) Projects 2 & 3 - I'll have some examples from last year, and have invited someone from last year to visit us in a week or so to tell how her project is becoming a reality at a local elementary school
5) Maybe some hands-on CBI experiments using ourselves as "students", with our not-so-good other languages as the demo languages.
6) If time: the much-postponed background presentation about fundamentals of language pedagogy and the curriculum that would be needed to prepare teachers to teach effectively from the start.
Teaser (these things are getting to be like potato chips): If PSU ever goes to semesters, we'll have to redesign our courses for 15 weeks instead of just 10. So what would Project 4 look like?
