Master Teacher Retreat

KCPDC sponsored a faculty retreat for faculty recongnized by their schools as being highly effective, "master," teachers. We have audio that breaks down our early objectives, plans and calls for nominations if you want to see how that process started. I experimented with a video blog addressing our expectations:



We organized the retreat in part on the KCPDC wiki. Once the action started, much of the plans were replaced by photos, links, and items that came out of the event. The extent to which some of our participants took initiative and helped craft the page, and create content and write new pages, surprised and inspired me. Co-facilitated by Dr. Rob Flaherty and I (Greg Dixon) - we pushed the center of gravity toward the participants, banking on the idea that great faculty would make ideal collaborators. That paid off.

I'm still processing what we learned and explored, so expect to see an addtional post or two reflecting on what I took away.
