Quick notes...

We just wrapped up the final installment of the summer Learning Circle. How sad! I look forward to finding out how others' attempts at facilitating significant learning proceed this semester...perhaps as these folks' experiences take shape, they'll feel comfortable sharing those experiences (hint hint)...

Note to self: regarding Gertrude's closing comment on the inaccessibility of student development in certain of the categories of Fink's taxonomy, I feel the need to include a few items on the semester's opening "questionnaire" with the goal of assessing students' confidence in (a) speaking in front of others, (b) doing math in front of others, and (c) engaging in a long-term mathematics research project.

To be continued...and no, Gertrude's not her real name (see my first post)...
