<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>I am going
to try the course; I just registered. As I've been following the discussion
with interest, I've been very intrigued by the issue of multiple
ihntelligences as they impact college transition, differentiated classrooms
(from the point of view of skills levels as well as intrinsic motivation) and
the increasing number of "developmental" students, regardless of
their educational backgrounds. If colleges and universities could get out of
the "developmental" model to a curriculum revision model that
enhances instructional changes (faculty are now talking about Bloom's taxonomy
as a starting point for curriculum revision), including differentiated
instruction... I do this wearing several hats: while I was in adult
education previously, in various ABE/ESOL programs, including tutor training
(so the comments about CBOs and standards for volunteers is a very difficult
topic), family, workplace, employability with technological enhancement
literacy programs ccombining ABE and ESOL students, I am now teaching
French (?!; it used to be ESOL but the university did away with its formalized
program) developmental English composition, freshman college success seminars,
working with a summer "bridge" program for at risk students, and I am
also director of the university writing center. Writing across the
curriculum, writing to learn, and multiple intelligences seemed to me to be
answers to the differentiated classroom. I also identify with funding: my
jobs are both part-time... and assesment (I work with the learning center
to administer Accuplacer). We also have a lot of developmental problems with
online students so I do writing center advising electronically....<br>
Coincidentally, I'd been invited to facilitate an Oakland Unified Schools
District ESOL teachers' retreat with a mindfulness activity (I chose walking
the labyrinth) in relation to multiple intelligences, but I couldn't get the
life scan fingerprinting done in time, alas. I may have some role in this
program but I'm not quite sure what. In any event, when things come together
like this, I tend to listen up, so thought I needed to take advantage of
the opportunity to take the course. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
