Week One (January 12):  Introduction

School Site:

An important requirement of this course is weekly participatory site visits to a school or educational setting. You will work with teachers and their students during an approximately three hour period each week outside of our class meeting times, and write up a reflection on your experiences and observations. Below is a description of the school site for this quarter and its location, along with the days/times that you can sign up for beyond the Thursday meetings at the School. Please look this over carefully and let me know your availability/preference for a specific days or times outside of our class meeting times (Tues/Thurs Noon-1:30). The school is open from 9-3:30 except the second and forth wednesday of each month when there is early dismissal at 12:30. Note: you must commit to visiting the site the same times every week. Let me know if you interested in carpooling to the sites (either needing a ride or providing a seat in your car) and I will help to put you in touch with others in the class.
