There are two primary processes for the class, one which is focused on a student’s individual learning and portfolio development, and one focused on group engagement.

Group performances

Beginning the first week, the class will be divided into five groups. That week we will focus on orientation and introductions, but after that first week and for each week following, each group will practice posing a specific set of questions to the topic/case/film we are engaging. By the end of the course, each group will have had the chance to work through each of the five sets of questions at least once.

For the first few days of the week (Mon-Wed) students will work in their small groups on the questions, and by Wednesday they will post a summary to the class blog for that week of their best responses. By Friday everyone in the class should have read those summaries, and posted a substantial comment on the blog. I will comment and provide further contextualization of our work together, along with any introductions to the coming week's work that weekend.

Personal performances

By the end of the class students need to have taken the book reading quizzes and passed them, they need to have begun an educational leadership portfolio (which includes a thorough self-assessment and the glossary quiz), and they will have reviewed one item from FeAutor.org that has not yet been reviewed by a Luther student, and contributed one new item to FeAutor (note: new items do not need to have been written by the student, but if they are encouraging someone else to share materials, then they must ALSO review that contribution)

To reiterate:

Important note:

If you have a condition or disability that makes any of these requirements difficult for you, or if there are specific accommodations that are appropriate, please let me know as soon as possible.
