Reading Assignment (Jan 30th-Feb 5th)
We've had really good discussion in class lately, which means we need to change the reading schedule a bit to better reflect where we are at. Here goes:
Wednesday, January 30th -- "Questionable Assumptions About Schooling"; Textbook pages 124-135
Thursday, January 31st, Section 7 (9:30 class) -- "Questionable Assumptions About Schooling"; Textbook pages 124-135
Thursday, January 31st, Section 6 (2:00 class) -- Textbook pages 124-135; 13-16
Monday, February 4th -- Textbook pages 13-16, "The Education of Free Men"
Tuesday, Feb 5tth, Section 7 -- Textbook pages 13-16, "The Education of Free Men"
Tuesday, Feb 5th, Section 6 -- "The Education of Free Men"
Remember that anything in quotes refers to the name of an article that is on the reader CD-ROM that came with your textbook. Please bring those articles to class (feel free to bring your laptop if you have one and don't want to print out the article).

A blog about college success
I stumbled across this blog today: Study Hacks. It's written by the author of How to Become A Straight A Student and How to Win at College. It seems like it could be very helpful for folks. I am even thinking about adopting some of the strategies to be more successful and productive in my own work. Check it out!

Reading clarification
I've been getting some emails asking what the "13-19" means in the reading schedule for the week. Those are page numbers in your textbook. Those six pages in chapter 1 discuss the history of teaching as a profession and goes well with the chapter four material we will be discussing.

Not everyone was able to take home the service learning newsletter that listed all the service learning sites.
