Professional Development Opportunity: 3CSN's Contextualized Teaching and Learning

2011-03-11T10:29:00.000-08:00

LINKS 3:Contextualized Teaching and Learning (CTL)

March 18, 2011

9:00 am - 4:00 pm

Location: Glendale Community College

Are students on your campus struggling to succeed in basic skills sequence, transfer, and vocational courses?

How can you support your students’ completion of courses and programs?

Don’t miss it! It’s not too late! Come join your basic skills, GE, CTE, and counseling colleagues to explore the value of

Contextualized teaching and learning. CTL is designed to capture students’ attention by helping them see the relevance of the classroom information in their own lives and find and create meaning by drawing from prior experiences and knowledge. Contextualized teaching and learning embeds essential skills and/or study skills, the practices of theme-based, project-based, CTE, and/or service learning curriculum in order to achieve course outcomes.

A few examples of Contextualized Teaching and Learning:

A nutrition class in which students conduct surveys of random people on campus to see what their eating habits are then students develop a report and graph and draw conclusions

A sociology class at LA Mission College with a "Denim Day" project in which students conduct field research for sexual assault awareness and prevention that inform student presentations and reports which are presented publicly.

An accounting instructor who asks students to act as consultants to simulated companies. They then have to provide a report and present to the class how they solved that company's problem.

An office technology class in which students are assigned to offices on campus to do actual office work for 4-6 weeks.

An ESL class in which students plan a vacation in an English speaking country and are given a specific budget (including transportation, housing, food, and entertainment) and told that they cannot add to or come home with any of the vacation funds.

Contextualized Teaching and Learning can also help colleges build smart program designs to structure stackable certificates and/or “chunked” academic course sequence pathways that lead to meaningful wage gains and build toward longer-term certificates, degrees, and/or transfer.

Hello, everyone. I hope all is well.

I’m really looking forward to seeing all of you at our LINKS 3 event at Glendale Community College, on March 18^th. We have a great agenda plan for that day, and exciting speakers. Additionally, there has been some confusion regarding Contextualized Teaching and Learning (CTL) in the past. The following attachment provides further examples of CTL. Please register as soon as possible, thanks. http://calendar.3csn.org/events/index.php?com=detail&eID=143

Glad to hear that you had a great regional meeting last Friday. Meeting notes will be set out in the near future, still gathering all of the presentation materials from speakers. On another note, please SAVE THE DATE...FIER Conference, September 30, 2011 at Mt. SAC. More details to come…

Lastly, this is a great video by Sir Ken Robinson, on Changing Paradigms. Scott Lay sent this video out last year, in October. Not sure how many of you had the opportunity to view the video, if not, take a look.

It Is Not Too Late to Register---California Community Colleges' Success Network: Accessing Student Voices to Create a Design/Mind Space for Faculty

2010-11-17T08:49:00.001-08:00

California Community Colleges' Success Network (http://3csn.org)
BSI Professional Development Grant

Accessing Student Voices to Create a Design/Mind Space for Faculty

November 19, 2010

10:00 AM - 02:30 PM

Location: San Bernardino Valley College

North Hall Room (NHR) 221

In this half-day workshop facilitated by Tom deWit and Sean McFarland from the Acceleration in Context Initiative (AIC), faculty will build a creative and analytical space to revisit and reimagine their classroom practices. Two related facts serve as a foundation for the day:

§ Students have the Capacity to do far more than what is often asked of them; and,

§ Students accelerate when the teacher trusts in this Capacity. Likewise, faculty Capacity will be invoked as part of this workshop's focus on classroom redesign. Faculty will consider how weaving Love into the classroom can be an explicit strategy for leveraging Capacity and for integrating students' affective and cognitive domains.

Faculty will also be invited to consider ways to integrate Inquiry and Student Voices into the classroom. The ongoing project spearheaded by McFarland inside the Faculty Inquiry Network-"Student Voices Across California"-will serve as a backdrop.

The core concepts of Capacity, Love, Inquiry and Student Voices will lay the groundwork for entering into an intellectual and aesthetic arena called Design/Mind. Design/Mind is an AIC professional development approach where faculty collaboratively design lessons, practices, and curriculum models that reconnect faculty with their discipline, bring students to the center of their own learning and respond to the evolving dynamic found in any classroom.

Attendees will also be introduced to a network of colleagues doing similar work around the state. This workshop will be of value to anyone interested in completion, acceleration or effective teaching. Please RSVP in advance.

California Community Colleges’ Success Network

Dear Faculty and Administration:

This academic year, 3CSN (the Basic Skills Initiative professional development grant) will offer a variety of activities, resources, and support to help you and your campus achieve the objectives of the statewide Basic Skills Initiative (BSI).

One such professional learning opportunity for this fall is our Learning In Networks for Knowledge Sharing—part 2 (LINKS 2). This second in a series of LINKS events will take a deeper look into student success in terms of completion, breaking completion into more manageable chunks known as milestones and momentum points. At these events, participants will examine data related to specific momentum points and learn how to apply tools supported by 3CSN (i.e., inquiry/gap analysis, data benchmarking, and logic models) to identify and address key momentum points that lead to successful completion of milestones such as the ESL/basic skills pathway, as well as longer completion paths such as certificates, degrees, and transfer readiness. Participants will also learn about high-leverage strategies that can be used to support, and perhaps even accelerate, pathway completion.

Three day-long (approximately 9 am to 4 pm) LINKS 2 events will be offered throughout the state:

· Friday, October 22^nd in the San Diego area (California Center for the Arts, Escondido)

· Friday, October 29^th in the Los Angeles area (Los Angeles Valley College)

· Friday, November 19^th in the northern/central California area (Diablo Valley College)

These events are FREE and lunch will be provided. Attached is a flyer with additional information, including registration web links. Colleges are encouraged to send teams representing faculty and administration in ESL/basic skills, counseling, and other disciplines across the campus. Be sure to register early, as space is limited. For more information about these LINKS 2 events, regional 3CSN activities and support available to you locally, or general information about 3CSN, please visit our website at http://3csn.org.

We look forward to working with you as we all work to help our students with basic skills needs!

Sincerely,

Lynn Wright and the 3CSN Coordinators: Daniel Bahner, Lisa Brewster, Jan Connal, Donna Cooper, Daryl Kinney, Jennifer Mendoza, Anniqua Rana, and Cleavon Smith

Are You Committing Plagiarism? Top Five Overlooked Citations to Add to Your Course Materials

By Miki Crawford, PhD

Although we strive to uphold academic integrity, we may unknowingly be committing plagiarism. As we know (and tell our students) plagiarism is copying from a source verbatim, but it is even more than that. According to Reference.com, “plagiarism is the unauthorized use or close imitation of the language and thoughts of another author and the representation of them as one's own original work.”

When we hear of faculty plagiarism, it mostly involves a publication. However, do you create PowerPoint® presentations from text content? Do you use ideas or handouts from colleagues? Do you copy a chapter from a book as supplemental reading without providing the source information? Do you use pictures or trademarks from the Internet? If so, you may be guilty of plagiarism. As faculty we should be aware of content that we distribute and whether we need to provide proper citations.

While searching Google with the keywords, faculty plagiarism, there were over 7,000,000 results. While narrowing the search using the keywords “faculty committing plagiarism,” the sites that I viewed have: 1. information about student plagiarism or 2. information about a professor who has committed plagiarism. Information to remind faculty how they may be committing unintentional plagiarism is needed.

Students are now using the same tool that faculty often use to identify faculty plagiarism—the Internet. By typing in a line or two from an assignment or other teaching materials, students are able to find online sources and possibly expose faculty plagiarism.

For decades The Teaching Professor newsletter has been a trusted source for educators who are committed to creating a better learning environment. Each issue delivers thought-provoking and practical articles on a wealth of critical topics … from motivating students ... to incorporating technology into the classroom ... to establishing a framework for student-centered learning … and much more. Learn More »

Here are some considerations for faculty when creating course materials:

1. Place a citation at the bottom of your PowerPoint slides (or better yet, on the master slide) to reference your textbook. If you use a direct quote/definition from the text, include the page number afterward.

2. Provide credit where credit is due when using ideas, organization of content, or quotes from colleagues.

3. Provide references on any copied materials that you use as supplements and consider the Fair Use Law.

4. Write or type Web links or references on any articles that you send to students or upload on a course content site such as Blackboard. After recording the citation on the article, it can be copied as a pdf. Merely citing these on Blackboard may not be enough.

5. Do those pictures from the Internet that you wish to use have a copyright sign or is the website copyrighted? If so, request permission before you copy. There are plenty of open source pictures and graphics on the Web that are for anyone’s use. However, trademarked images should not be used without permission.

Academic integrity is a vital component of our professional responsibility. We set an example for students and, make no mistake, they are watching!

Dr. Miki Crawford is the faculty coordinator and an associate professor in communication at Ohio University Southern Campus.

5 Fun Facts About Candy Hearts

2010-02-11T16:38:00.001-08:00

1. A Sweet Tradition
Today’s best-selling Valentine’s Day candy dates back to 1902. Chances are you’ve bought the pastel sugar Sweethearts made by the New England Confectionery Company (NECCO) with cute sayings ranging from “Ura Star” to all “All Mine.” Over the years, the “Marry Me” heart has been combined with an engagement ring for wedding proposals.

2. Conversation Hearts are in High Demand
Production for conversation hearts starts right after Valentine’s Day and runs through mid-January the following year. Throughout the year, about 100,000 pounds a day are produced. They sell out in just 6 weeks.

3. They Weren’t Always Hearts
Nothing says Happy Valentine’s Day like hearts…or postcards, baseballs, horseshoes and watches, which were included in the first batch of conversation candies in 1902.

Plus: Top 10 Aphrodisiacs for Valentine's Day

4. Fax Me…
was the first updated saying added to the conversation hearts lineup in the early 1990’s. Each year new phrases like “E-mail Me” are added to the traditional mix that include "Be Mine," "Be Good," Kiss Me," and -- of course -- "Sweet Talk."

5. All New Phrases for 2010
For the first time in 145 years, NECCO has discarded all previous phrases on its Sweethearts candies and will unveil new phrases for 2010. The new expressions of love were voted on by the American public. One of the new phrases… Tweet Me. NECCO has even created an iPhone application that will let you send your lover personalized digital Sweethearts to be displayed on his or her Twitter page. Check out our list of conversation heart sayings over the years.
