@actualham I know you have been taking critical pokes at #innovation in #HigherEd been learning into innovation systems from sociotechnical system theories.. Some cool stuff. Playing with a model of #OER as an innovation system here: https://quickthoughts.jgregorymcverry.com/2019/03/07/my-fork-of-synea-into-a-saint #OEweek
Wanted to get into the functions of innovation systems in terms of learning. Don't like the economic model behind "knowledge brokering" but theory captures a ton of social learning #connectedlearning #cognition #innovation For folks with screen readers I describe the infographic here: https://quickthoughts.jgregorymcverry.com/2019/03/03/innovation-systems-an
So much of #OEWeek focusing on the stuff at #OER do yourself a favor and spend twice as much time talking about people and practice that you spend talking about stuff.
Meanwhile we are also expected to complete research and publish our work...Supposed to be 50% teaching, 25% research, 25% service....but the job often requires each category to consume more than 100% of any given week. Is this the #highered norm?
We teach 4/4 load (I get 3 credit release to coordinate a 75-100+ student program, advise 70-100 students, handle and process 30 applications semester, write CAEP reports, a do program recruitment) plus tasked with applying for 10 million dollars in grants this year
Anyone else in #HigherEd feel like your work choices are constant decision about what part of your job you won't do well so you can ensure you get other parts of your job done at all? Has the workload always been this grueling or labor practices shifting?
Hey #oeweek @sadike25 still trying to raise $150.00 US to launch an #OER network in Ghana....$150 and we will connect SOOO many people to the Commons. DM me or paypal jgremcverry@gmail.com
@nxD4n Ahh, that make sense. Though I prefer to include my permalink (but I also renamed my Twitter my url). Finding 265(ish) to be the character count..should test it out exactly.
The Core Knowledge and all the https://www.engageny.org/common-core-curriculum increaed in frequency in urban schools (the math stuff everywhere) and now Fundations has flooded recently: https://www.wilsonlanguage.com/programs/fundations/ Reading Street somewhat. People making bank on #CCSS Foundational skills inclusion
@dr_ddennis leaning to simply small-group instruction...Pre-service teachers I work with, had 6-8 years living "guided reading" as commercial product so term comes with a preconceived notions. In CT you are usually either a Caulkins school or Fountas and Pinnel School
@RacheGabriel @dr_dennis The very first thing the university president said to me when we met at the new faculty welcome social, even before the word hello was, "How are you going to raise our Foundation of Reading test scores?" that was my entire job my first year.
@nxD4n I also do not see a permalink back to your website. Those are helpful. You can turn it on under site configuration if you want to let people follow their way back to your website.
