Starting the Discussion
|
Thanks for signing up for this discussion. Right now there are 14 members of this discussion so it is a small group, so please feel free to post your thoughts and opinions. Each of us will need to post in order to make the discussion interesting. We represent 11 different LSC projects so although we are an intimate group, there is a wide array of experiences being brought to the table. The list of people and their current projects are at the end of this e-mail.
This conversation will discuss how the goals of your LSCs are transmitted between constituencies, beginning with PI, project directors, administrators, science and math coordinators and lead teachers and the rest of the teachers. It will be interesting to explore effective models for communication as well as the weak links. (I am sure we all have some weak linksWhat kinds of communication does your project require? What are the communication pathways? What tools and means do you employ for this communication? I am particularly interested in exploring if a tool similar to LSC-Net might facilitate communication between constituencies (eg. lead teachers to teachers) and within constituencies (teacher to teacher). Does your LSC use a website or e-mail for communication? If so, do you have the capability to post best practices, queries, or student work? Do you have discussion groups? I am eager to hear from each of you.
The discussion will run for approximately 4 weeks. Remember dont hit the reply button to post a message to the list. Send your replies to LSC-sharing @ list.terc.edu or go to the LSC website http://lsc-net.terc.edu and click on Discussions. I look forward to hearing from you.
Joni
