PLanning my FLC project from June 2011 and planning for Nov 28 meeting

  1. List several things you can put into your portfolio that will demonstrate to an outside reader what you do now and the types of results you obtain: I would like to do a blog.  (which I began, whew, somewhat on it).  I would like to reflect on the blog and let my students view it too to provide feedback.  I could link resources etc.Link student's blogs from my class. Link webct threads somehow but keeping it anonymous? Include survey results. Have students in their blogs focus  on NCSS goals of citizenship and civic duty and thoughts. Have them also do blogs where they apply social studies concepts to service learning.  read articles we did in class, which I also did, where they read up on citizenship and connected their topic to this concept.
  2. List 2-3 things that I do not currently collect that could help me:  I could collect surveys...and actually learn how to construct a better survey.  Have several checkpoints.  Mid semester evals and long term surveys to see if they implement service learning in their own classrooms.  IRB for future research and focus groups.
  3. Thinking about changes that I would like to implement:  link it better to teaching social studies (which fall2011 feedback in their blogs indicate they get why they did these projects and it feels connected!  which rocks.Teach a total day on how to teach with service learning in their own classes, more in depth...unlike what i do now but more like the MACC workshops, showing them ideas and then giving them to them...and do this after they do their projects.  My idea for next semester is to have them do their projects in the Beginning, WHEN they are not as busy.
