Homework To Be Done Before August 25th

Everyone

Go back to the Starting With Values activity. Think of a new activity, practice, or idea that you might add to your teaching or other university work in the fall that reflects your value, and add it to the table.

All Folks Who Did Not Attend on July 13:

  • To finish out your asynchronous participation for the July CPLC session, check out the Cluster Learning Slide Share that your colleagues created during our synchronous session. Write a question or response to something on the slides in our “CPLC Season 3 General Channel” on Teams.

TWP & INCAP:

Asynchronous participation for TWP/INCAP

Between July 13 and July 20, review the padlet (from the track syllabus: https://padlet.com/cleblanc11/nst9kryce26c3g5a) and create a one-pager that synthesizes your thoughts about at least 2 of the sessions. Be sure you identify which sessions you are synthesizing. You might include your questions about the sessions, your thoughts about the session description, what you are wondering about the discussion, etc. Post your one-pager to the Team channel by July 20. If you are new to one-pagers, this is a useful introduction: https://www.cultofpedagogy.com/one-pagers/

Homework for ALL TWP/INCAP

  1. Review the posted one-pagers. If there are one-pagers about a session you attended, respond in some way—answer questions, identify key discussion points, etc. If there are one-pagers for sessions you didn’t attend but are asking questions or making observations that you have thoughts about, share your thoughts.

  1. By now, you should be putting together the details of your classes for the Fall 2021 semester. If you are teaching TWP or INCAP, please do this assignment related to that class. If you are not teaching TWP or INCAP, use one of your other classes into which you might be applying some of the ideas we have explored in CPLC. Before our University Days session, share some aspect of your course in the Teams channel. You might share your syllabus, an assignment, a class activity, etc.

Ambassadors:

Add an idea to our GoogleDoc outreach brainstorm. Participate in the channel chat on Teams as we talk about the admin meeting.
