I added a possible second writing sprint topic (which I would be happy to dive into/collab on), which is essentially the flip of what was already listed as a possible sprint topic. Reproduced below. Cheers, Matt [PASTE] Write a primer for companies and FOSS developers/evangelists/participants about the lifecycle of faculty at the secondary and tertiary levels and how to engage in productive collaboration for both parties. For example, how are middle/high-school teachers (in a typical public school setting in the USA) hired, how do they keep their jobs, what curricula must they teach, etc? Likewise, at the tertiary level (community college, teaching-centric institutions, research-centric institutions) what does the hiring and subsequent tenure process look like? What curricula/accrediting bodies rule in these environments? Provides context for recommendations for how to engage/collaborate with faculty in the space of FOSS? (Perhaps not useful? Might be a red herring?) [END PASTE] _______________________________________________ tos mailing list [email protected] http://teachingopensource.org/mailman/listinfo/tos
