Parker, Nice to meet you at that CC Salon.
Are you familiar with the M-DCPS program? See http://www.dadeschools.net/employees.asp Miami-Dade County Public Schools (M-DCPS) is the fourth largest school district in the United States, with some 367 public schools and 47 charter schools. Serving an area of over 2,400 square miles, M-DCPS has 345,000 students, 50,000 employees and an annual budget of more than €6bn. Overview In late 2005, the M-DCPS published a comprehensive five-year IT Blueprint plan included objectives to encourage student use of technology to manage their own learning, provide parents with the opportunity to participate in their children’s education, and* give teachers the tools and information to maximise their resources*. The plan also aimed to provide administrators and operations/support staff with the tools and information needed to make informed decisions, communicate effectively, and optimally deploy resources. -Mark oer@berkeley On Wed, Jun 1, 2011 at 12:02 PM, Kevin Driscoll <[email protected]>wrote: > Here's a little behind-the-curtain look at the attitudes (and > anxieties) that some professors feel about sharing their syllabi: > > > http://chronicle.com/blogs/profhacker/open-thread-wednesday-sharing-syllabi/33736 > > There's a nice balance here and even the folks who do feel > "proprietorial" (my new fave word) are willing to change their minds. > As with K-12 teachers, it seems that a lack of institutional > recognition and disciplinary norms (e.g. how to give credit) leads to > confusion.
