Gamble’s Teach Out Project Proposal

This is the first step in brainstorming your final project in this class.  Please post this document to your blog and bring this document to class on March 26.  This is just the planning stage – no formalities!

CHOOSE A TEXT:

Review your whole blog to remind yourself about what we have read so far in class. What texts have stayed with you so far? What articles inspire you?  What topic matters most to you in terms of your own work? Are there any of these texts that you would like to share with others in your life? 

        Two texts have truly resonated with me during this course. Shannon Renkly’s Shifting the Paradigm from Deficit Oriented Schools to Asset Based Models: Why Leaders Need to Promote an Asset Orientation in our Schools the other is Khan’s The Broken Model. These texts speak to questions I have had surrounding our current educational system. As a result I have found both of them beneficial and would like to deepen my understanding of their collective content.

WHO DO YOU WANT TO SHARE WITH?

Are there people in your life with whom you would really like to talk about these texts? Colleagues? Students? Family members? Friends? Children?

    I would like to share the information gained and learned within these texts to my adult education program’s potential students and their families. I believe this information would ease the anxiety and stress associated  with a young person earning their GED via an adult education program such as mine.

WHAT FORMAT MIGHT WORK FOR YOU?

Individual interview? Small group discussion? Art activity? Professional development workshop? Poster for your office? Pamphlet to share? Lesson plan? Etc?

    I envision the content displayed on an informational flyer or bulletin. The flyer would be presented to the potential student and their family during the initial intake process for the program. Also visitors would be able to take a copy home to review for themselves and ask questions to staff after reviewing the flyer.
