5.09
Lynn B. asked that we refresh ourselves on the administrative
rules for the 5.09 by referring to the rules listed on the cabinet.
She also suggested that if a student is working on a CEI and you
need to leave, let the new or another instructor know.
Suggestions for the 5.09: more reading at increasing levels of
difficulty should be included, journal writing would promote
communication and writing skills, and a unit on how to organize
information would be useful before starting the program. It
was also suggested that students be responsible for their
portfolios.
PEP
A career awareness component will be added to the PEP.
Computers
Cauline said that in July we will be getting all new computers.
We will have a site license for Rosetta Stone and ALS/Govt. Civic
Literacy course, World Book encyclopedia and the software for Writers
Express (textbook used in Writing 3). She is also looking
for 20 career awareness students to pilot new software.
Materials organization
Lab teachers liked Jim Stickels suggestion for organizing books
and tapes that accompany them together in hanging folders in the
administrative area. Jim will start working on this this week.
We reviewed math packets used in the math lab and decided to pilot
the %, algebra and geometry packets for this summer. Kou will
take care of getting the copies made.
Other
People recommended that we get a glass case for our bulletin
board outside the learning center.
GED focus in the level 3 curriculum is different that straight level
3 and materials should be organized in that fashion.
If anyone would like to make additions or corrections,
please let me
know. We should be set up as a listserv to facilitate
communication.
