Join us on Friday Nov 30th as we shortcut the group-forming process of an Edcamp and get down to business. We meet at 9:00 a.m., PGSS, Room 645 to discuss whatever the participants bring with them from big questions to wild ideas, and find somewhere interesting to go for lunch. If it’s a small group, we’ll work through all inquiries, if it’s a big group, we’ll split into err… splinter cells based on common interests. If you like the cut of our jib, stay for the afternoon as we debrief and figure out what to do with the conversation. Daryl B. is bringing some questions (and colleagues?) around critical thinking in the Community Alt Social Studies context, and Rob & Glen have a key question on moving from assessing knowledge/understanding of curriculum to assessing critical thinking and ability to solve problems in (mainly) Social Studies. We’re hoping Kelly Inden, FSJ teacher, can join us as well. See what keeps her up at night at http://messyprofessional.wordpress.com/ and http://geography12.wordpress.com/. Ian will be back from his “staycation.” Joe has survived “Soviet Survivor” with some stories to tell. Bill is overdue for a Pacific Slope adventure. Maybe Lorne has forgiven us for hiding on him last year. Hopefully other inquirists or newcomers can join us and complete the circle. No knife-throwing at this event, but we do look forward to the conversation.
