BUT first a moment (or two) of frivolity

 

Sunday:

Who are our students?

 

A beautiful start to the week.

CIDR leads us through thinking about our course design-

1. Who are our students?What do they bring to class?

2. What do we want them to be able to do at the end of day/class?

3. How will we know they can do it?

4. How do we engage the student in the classroom so as to accomplish these goals?
