Making Learning Visible Symposium
Wednesday, June 10, 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM, Cafeteria and surrounding areas
Originally modeled after the highly successful “Undergraduate Research Symposium” annual event held at the University of Washington, North’s “Making Learning Visible” Symposium, now in its fourth year, provides our students with a chance to showcase their learning experiences to a larger audience.
Student feedback from past years is that our students have thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to talk with others about what they have learned.
Interested in having your students participate? Email Jane Lister-Reis at jreis@sccd.ctc.edu for more information. As we get into spring quarter, Jane will send participating instructors additional information students will need to prepare for the event.
Making Teaching Visible: Creating a Commons for Learning and Learners
Wednesday, June 10, 2:00 to 5:00 PM, North Star Dining Room
View the agenda and goals document
Making Teaching Visible is a new event especially designed by the TLC to support faculty. It will dovetail the annual Making Learning Visible Symposium which takes place on that same day from 9:00 am -2:00 pm in the cafeteria and will provide a relaxed forum for faculty to talk about issues that are on our hearts and affect us as educators. The goals of the event are to deepen dialogue around issues that affect all faculty, create new relationships across disciplines and to foster more active engagement in the making/shaping of the academic “teaching/learning” community.
Besides conversation time, attention will also be given to encouraging faculty to sign up to participate in a faculty learning community (now renamed Community Learning Groups to encourage a more diverse group if desired) to self organize around an issue/challenge/theme affecting teaching/learning. These CLGs will start fall 2009. You’ll have a chance to share your own experience as part of a learning community and to answer questions from your colleagues.
Food will be provided and we encourage those of you who will be facilitators to contribute a bottle of wine.
Our goal is to make this a meaningful event for faculty making visible the cherished conversations, relevant insights, and practical ways we construct as ways to support and nurture the intellectual and social fabric of our teaching/learning community.
We can do so much together.

Leadership Can Be Taught
Friday, June 12, 12:00 to 1:30 PM, Boardroom
Facilitator Dan Tarker
Join us on Friday afternoons in Spring Quarter to read and discuss "Leadership Can Be Taught" by Sharon Daloz-Parks, 2005, Harvard Business School Publishing Company, ISBN 1-59139-309-4. Amazon.com: http://www.amazon.com/Leadership-Can-Be-Taught-Approach/dp/1591393094
This week: Chapters 9 and 10, pp. 201 - 256 (55 pages)
“Today’s increasingly complex, dangerous, and challenging world demands more and better leaders than ever before. . . In Leadership Can Be Taught, Sharon Parks invites readers to step into the classroom of Harvard leadership virtuoso Ron Heifetz and his colleagues to experience a dynamic type of leadership . . . [that is] not about wielding power and authority. It is about mobilizing people to make progress on the tough, adaptive challenges that make or break organizations, communities and societies.” (front cover of Leadership Can Be Taught)
In this book discussion opportunity, we will learn what local author and nationally-recognized speaker/teacher Dr. Sharon Daloz Parks, co-director of the Leadership for New Commons Project, Whidbey Institute, tells us about how we can foster the type of leadership that is needed in our world today. As a group, we’ll explore how we can use these insights and skills to help create a community in which each of us is actively engaged and supportive of each other in fulfilling the college’s mission to “change lives through education.”
Discussion group participants are asked to obtain their own copy of the book. Partial scholarships to defray the cost of the book may be available through the office of Institutional Effectiveness – confirmation of funds availability will be sent via future email.
RSVP encouraged but not required.
