Hatak takes the assist from the corner and shoots and scores...... Oh, wait this is not what Karl meant.
I guess if I had to come up with a goal this semester it would be to engage the students in meaningful discussions which are a means of investigating the essential learnings in class. I would also make sure that the students understand what the essential learnings are for each of the classes that I teach.
Plan of Action:
1) The primary means for engaging the students in discussions will be the classroom stucture that enables the studnets to take an active role in the investigation of the material that we are studying. This will be through continnued use of inquiry based experiments, blogs for discussion and classroom activities.
2) The students will use blogs to discuss topics that we do not have time to cover in class. This will cover material that is important to the study of the sciences but should not be limited to the core material.
3) The students will encorporate a greater use of technology into their understanding of the essential learnigns. They shoudl use the internet and other resources to research, discuss, evaluate, and compose writings that are based on the topics that we are studying. These documents will include but are not limited to lab reports and discussion papers.

Do I at least get credit for the assist?
Wait a second, "I guess if I had to" - what kind of enthusiastic commitment is that?
Sounds good. One question, though, how are you going to evaluate the results to see if you have successfully achieved your goal?
