Teamwork & meetings by Kerstin Okubo https://padlet.com/kerstin_okubo1/sr7otccoszlv Made with a taste for adventure en-us 2017-04-01 18:16:07 UTC 2025-12-05 16:56:24 UTC hello@padlet.com carozzan https://padlet.com/kerstin_okubo1/sr7otccoszlv/wish/353817146 -Explain important things in meetings by being  succinct.  Less important  can easily be an email. A lot of time seems to be wasted on things that seem intuitive (for most).]]> 2019-04-24 16:40:13 UTC https://padlet.com/kerstin_okubo1/sr7otccoszlv/wish/353817146 carozzan https://padlet.com/kerstin_okubo1/sr7otccoszlv/wish/353818407 I don't think this is necessarily teamwork, but not all instructors are on board with certain methods and ideas. If instructors were, it could lead to be better teamwork and less complaining on course content.]]> 2019-04-24 16:43:06 UTC https://padlet.com/kerstin_okubo1/sr7otccoszlv/wish/353818407 It is difficult to work with instructors who don't pull their weight and who are not collaborating as instructed by the team lead. https://padlet.com/kerstin_okubo1/sr7otccoszlv/wish/353824706 2019-04-24 16:55:55 UTC https://padlet.com/kerstin_okubo1/sr7otccoszlv/wish/353824706 Comments made in debriefs don't seem to be addressed in September, or can reveal some misinterpretation of what was said. We need another step where team lead comes back to the whole group and discusses changes, checks for understanding christinacole58 https://padlet.com/kerstin_okubo1/sr7otccoszlv/wish/353964656 2019-04-25 01:46:58 UTC https://padlet.com/kerstin_okubo1/sr7otccoszlv/wish/353964656 Problems should be addressed immediately- not wait for a debrief at end of the term (too late/ forget assignments).e.g. midterm quiz christinacole58 https://padlet.com/kerstin_okubo1/sr7otccoszlv/wish/353964982 2019-04-25 01:49:08 UTC https://padlet.com/kerstin_okubo1/sr7otccoszlv/wish/353964982 Debrief allotted time insufficient to look at the syllabus and check whether we are teaching skills we are assessing. That alone should be a whole day task with group coming together at the end. christinacole58 https://padlet.com/kerstin_okubo1/sr7otccoszlv/wish/353965577 2019-04-25 01:52:24 UTC https://padlet.com/kerstin_okubo1/sr7otccoszlv/wish/353965577 Quite often leave weekly meetings feeling as if I wasted an hour because all information could have been e-mailed. https://padlet.com/kerstin_okubo1/sr7otccoszlv/wish/353981230 2019-04-25 03:24:39 UTC https://padlet.com/kerstin_okubo1/sr7otccoszlv/wish/353981230 Hi Kerstin :), it would be interesting to hear your voice/ideas in answer to the questions you ask us, because while you are always positive, not everything unfolds well in our curriculum. For example: How did the week go? We are missing your input as an instructor. https://padlet.com/kerstin_okubo1/sr7otccoszlv/wish/354085157 2019-04-25 13:00:32 UTC https://padlet.com/kerstin_okubo1/sr7otccoszlv/wish/354085157 Our weekly meetings are mostly a waste of time. It is often just Kerstin talking about random things or reading out emails or explaining how to find materials within a folder. This is not a useful way to spend an hour. https://padlet.com/kerstin_okubo1/sr7otccoszlv/wish/354099491 2019-04-25 13:35:16 UTC https://padlet.com/kerstin_okubo1/sr7otccoszlv/wish/354099491 https://padlet.com/kerstin_okubo1/sr7otccoszlv/wish/354186304 As for teamwork, I am hoping, like CRW, we will be given opportunities to work in teams and individually on new material next year, since we are now off in so many different buildings with our afternoons and mornings ....it is much more challenging to coordinate schedules and timelines.]]> 2019-04-25 16:41:41 UTC https://padlet.com/kerstin_okubo1/sr7otccoszlv/wish/354186304 How about spending some meeting time discussing how to better incorporate skills that students need for the assessment and whether the rubrics reflect what we have been teaching? https://padlet.com/kerstin_okubo1/sr7otccoszlv/wish/354209418 2019-04-25 17:35:31 UTC https://padlet.com/kerstin_okubo1/sr7otccoszlv/wish/354209418 https://padlet.com/kerstin_okubo1/sr7otccoszlv/wish/354212952 - Unit Committees giving a run down of the materials at the start of the unit was a good change. 
- Agreed that some meeting points are better off in an email and that some issues were not completely addressed when they were brought up.]]> 2019-04-25 17:42:37 UTC https://padlet.com/kerstin_okubo1/sr7otccoszlv/wish/354212952
