Humanities “summit” – sharing names, introducing new folks.
English → planning for retreat in Jan/Feb. Decided on two half days, one in January and one in March April.
Rough itinerary:
January – defining what it means to teach social justice/activism in the context of a literature classroom, how to adjust for developmental appropriateness, some kind of mapping exercise to identify possibility spaces in the curriculum, sharing of a couple of best practices.
Spring Day – with a thought partner/group, developing a new unit/assessment for one of the spaces identified in Jan.
ACTION ITEMS: Heather to send Doodle poll with possible weeks for retreats
