Lane Community College 2004 Fall Inservice

SLI Inservice Day | Main Schedule | Innovation Through Technology Sessions | Fall Inservice Main

An Open Invitation to the Strategic Learning Initiative Inservice Day
Wednesday, September 22, 2004

This year's Inservice focus of Innovation prompts the SLI Leadership Team to invite the College community to a full day celebrating and discussing college-wide innovative projects, including those that have been "mainstreamed" in the College and those still in the "incubation" stage of development.

The morning will begin with a collection of representatives and participating faculty of several instructional projects at an "Innovation Faire" in the large meeting rooms of the Center for Meeting and Learning. That will be followed by several project workshops where coordinators and participants will outline the goals and plans for the coming year, invite new participants with specific ways to be involved, and help with any application materials or processes needed for developing proposals for new SLI projects. The following workshops have been scheduled during the 10:30 to noon timeframe as three concurrent sessions, featuring two "back to back" sessions during the scheduled time:

10:30 to 11:15
1 American Indian Languages Program Rm 19/220
2 Learning Communities (10:30 to 11:00) Rm 19/214
Service Learning (11:00 to 11:30)
3 Survey of Technology Innovations Rm 19/205

11:15 to noon
1 3 to 4 Credit Conversion Rm 19/220
2 Reading Together (11:30 to noon) Rm 19/214
3 Survey of Technology Innovations con't Rm 19/205

Following the lunch break, members of the SLI LT will meet in the large 102 CML room to present the software we are developing to help us evaluate and make decisions about the directions of our collective efforts to innovate. It will be a provocative conversation as we try to frame where we have been and where we are going with Innovation as a College.

The afternoon will conclude with our featured Keynote Speaker, Dr. Elizabeth Minnich. She will raise innovative ways to reflect on what it means to teach thinking when she addresses the College community at 3:30 in CML 102. Her recent article in the Chronicle of Education's Change Magazine "Teaching Thinking: Moral and Political Considerations" (October 2003) offers a glimpse of her challenging pedagogy. (You can find a link to a copy of the article on the Library electronic reserves link under "Inservice". )
