I figure since we’re about halfway through Teaching Teaching, it might be time for a Gaz update! This semester we’ve taken a different approach. Instead of Roz or me organizing the topics, lectures for each class, and activities, we’re acting as a community of learners. As a group we came up with topics that we wanted to address on the first day of the “class.” Each week several people share on the week’s topic based on their experiences and we have related group discussions based on what we hear.

So far we’ve heard about:

(Attendees will be glad to see I’ve finally updated the blog!)

The topic for next Tuesday is “writing objective quiz questions and creating assignments.” So far I’m the only one who has volunteered. Does anyone else have anything they’d like to share on this day? There’s a lot of interest in creating quick and easy to grade assignments, and this is the period set aside to discuss that topic!

Since this semester has been a little bit crazy and folks haven’t always remembered the sessions they wanted to attend, I’ve added each session to the PDC. You can sign up for each “teaching strategy workshop” on our Staff Development page. This way you’ll get a reminder for the session in advance. Of course, if there’s something you’re interested in and you don’t sign up, don’t worry about it! Come on along anyway!

See you next Tuesday at 9am!
