During this pilot study, participants will learn to: - Develop lessons that infuse the culture of their students' family and community into the classroom and school in ways that enrich teaching and enhance student success - Increase the relevance of the curriculum for their students - Engage family and community in classroom learning - Collaborate with other teachers to plan culturally responsive teaching across subject areas all within a standards-based curriculum APPLY online by August 1, 2003! Don't miss your chance to be part of this exciting pilot study over the 2003-2004 school year! Participants in the Pilot Study: - Read about, plan, and use the strategies in the guide throughout the year - Document their experiences through surveys, written and group reflection, and lesson descriptions (see Documentation Guide) - Receive on-going technical assistance (phone, email, consultation, etc.) throughout the school year - Provide opportunities for NWREL staff to observe their CTCB activity or project, as appropriate - Showcase their activities and projects at a Spring event (optional) - Have an opportunity for their projects to be highlighted in the final published document In addition to the activities above, 20-25 participants will be invited to attend a Summer Institute on August 21-22 from 8:30 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. (each day) in Portland, Oregon.

Title: International Online Conference
Body: From: "Keiko Schneider" C A L L F O R P R O P O S A L S International Online Conference on Teaching Online in Higher Education tohe@ipfw.edu "Online Classes Go Mainstream" November 10-13, 2003 Preconference Web Site: http://www.ipfw.edu/as/2003tohe/ The organizing committee of the International Online Conference on Teaching Online in Higher Education would like to announce the 2003 online conference on Teaching Online in Higher Education (TOHE). The focus of this year's conference is on merging online classes into the mainstream. Contrary to initial expectations, online classes are often taken by traditional students with scheduling problems, family responsibilities or work constraints that interfere with traditional class schedules. Consequently, existing infrastructure may not sufficiently accommodate the flood of students taking online classes. This year we want to take a special look at what problems currently exist in how students enroll in online courses, how they are served by support services, and how faculty teaching online courses fit into the system. If you are aware of particular problems that exist in your infrastructure or you are working within one that is particularly suited for online courses, we want to extend a special invitation to you to submit a proposal to present a paper and chat with conference participants online this November. Suggested topics include: * Institutional Infrastructure o Admission/Registration Procedures for Online Students o Accommodating Conflicting Needs Between Offices * Online Academic Programs o Development o Implementation o Advertising * Student Support Services for Online Students o Needed Support/Service Systems o Servicing Students with Special Needs o Coordinating Students Services between Departments * Assessment of Online Courses o Peer Reviewing o Data Collecting o Tools of Measurement * Evaluation of Student Online Learning o Tools for Student Evaluation o Methods of Assessment o Keeping Students Honest o Useful Student Feedback * Faculty Support for Online Teaching o Recruiting/Training Online Instructors o Faculty Incentives o Development Programs o Support Services for Faculty * Online Interaction with Students o Creating More Dynamic Interaction o Tools for Student Evaluation o Methods of Assessment o Keeping Students Honest o Useful Student Feedback * Faculty Support for Online Teaching o Recruiting/Training Online Instructors o Faculty Incentives o Development Programs o Support Services for Faculty * Online Interaction with Students o Creating More Dynamic Interaction o Tools for Building Community o Online Community for the Student's Perspective * Course Design Methods o Managing Online Learning o Instructional Module Development o Using Predeveloped Modules o Online Resources Available from Publishers o Course Development Tools/Templates o Instructional Design Theories Include the following in your proposal: 1) Title of presentation 2) Name, 3) title/rank/position, 4) affiliation, 5) email address, 6) mailing address of presenter(s), 7) Abstract: not to exceed 100 words Send proposal to: tohe@ipfw.edu Proposals are due August 29, 2003.
