https://padlet.com/adaughtridge/fall2018PDideas Hi, guys! Casie and Zach are looking for suggestions for Fall 2018 PD workshops. As your GTA Council Representatives, Kyle and I want to make sure that your ideas and needs are heard. If you have an idea for a PD workshop that you think will benefit yourself and your peers, please share it in this Padlet. Ideally, you guys will respond to others' ideas and come to an agreement on which ideas will be most beneficial. We will present the ideas to Casie and Zach at the next Council meeting (4/25). If you wish, you can comment on the Padlet without creating an account (just comment as "anonymous" and sign your name at the bottom). en-us 2018-03-28 21:45:24 UTC 2018-04-25 23:03:01 UTC hello@padlet.com jspacchi https://padlet.com/adaughtridge/fall2018PDideas/wish/247271935 I would love to attend a workshop on how to plan classroom activities that actually communicate and practice the objectives of the unit and the class. Often times I feel like we use these classroom activities that don't actually connect to the objectives of the unit or the class, or if they do they don't in the way we want them to. ]]> 2018-03-29 14:35:51 UTC https://padlet.com/adaughtridge/fall2018PDideas/wish/247271935 https://padlet.com/adaughtridge/fall2018PDideas/wish/248308102 I would be interested in a workshop that explores the steps instructors can take in working with a student that is in danger of failing, requires disability accommodation, or struggles in engaging with the course. Ideally the workshop would cover department procedures, campus resources, and personal experiences and agency concerning failing a student or working with students struggling to pass ENG 101.

For example, this semester, my mentor has utilized the library in each unit--whether through visiting the library or having a librarian visit. I would love to learn more about how to make this happen.

I would love to spend time working on these tools/documents in preparation for applying for teaching jobs next spring.]]> 2018-04-24 02:31:13 UTC https://padlet.com/adaughtridge/fall2018PDideas/wish/254662264
