Hello everyone.  I am Natasha and I am currently a student in the
Masters in Adult Education program at East Carolina University in
Greenville, NC.  I am also an adjunct instructor at two of the local
community colleges here in eastern NC.  I teach ACA: Study Skills and
Developmental English.  My hope after I complete my graduate degree next
spring is to teach English full-time at the community college.

 

I look forward to the discussion.

StudentInvolvement and Critical Thinking

 

Dear Colleagues,

Wow - in the last two days approximately 40 individuals have subscribed
to the PD List for the upcoming discussion of Student Involvement and
Critical Thinking. Welcome to the list! J I'm happy you're here and I
look forward to learning from your experiences.

 

I'd like to open the floor for questions so that our guests can prepare.
Please post an introduction and your questions about student involvement
and critical thinking to the list. If you wish to raise your questions
anonymously, feel free to email me direct: jataylor at utk.edu and I will
share your questions without attribution.

Critical thinking and the intersection with student involvement is an
area that we've not really articulated in-depth on this list. I'm
excited about the opportunity to explore issues, strategies, and
resources with you.

 

Happy 4th!

 

Best, Jackie
