Hi Folks,
Most of you know the incomparable Liz Johnson and her work with the Australian Council of the Deans of ScienceTeaching and Learning group. Liz is leading a
precipitation/coagulation/crosslinking of first year science and mathematics
educators, to articulate common issues and help guide the Deans in
speaking with one voice regarding first year teaching and learning. In a
nutshell, this is a wonderful chance to fix the pressing problems many of us
would love to fix.
This flyer describes two
workshops the ACDS T&L mob are organising- please consider if you are able
to come, If you would like to come, but
have no funds, let me know. No promises, but we would like to gauge interest.
This is also the inaugural
message of the first year physics network we agreed to get going at the last
AIP congress. I will be sharing the admin load with Chris Creagh, who will be
providing much of the clear thinking (as you know, Chris is ace). Please
forward this email to anyone who you think should get it- the more interested
people involved, the better.
As usual, please email me directly
with any issues.
Cheers,
David.
