Maybe! Went to ON COURSE National Conference and learned a lot on how to
incorporate a variety of techniques into the classroom that apply to all basic skill
courses, general studies, guidance, DSPS, counseling and advisors. Need to
develop results from conference and workshop into a comprehensive form and
present to specific faculty first to get feedback as to whether it could be a flex
workshop for a broader base. bob-brown@redwoods.edu

...don't have any idea about a topic, really. I just didn't want to check "no"
because I would be happy to help out with a FLEX workshop presentation if
asked. I guess I'd feel comfortable facilitating discussion about managing time in
the classroom, structuring and grading written work, or especially teaching
history online. Abi Queen abigail-queen@redwoods.edu

First, if the faculty are good at what they are presenting it works. My experience
with round tables has been negative. People that aren't so great... sometimes
take over and monopolize because they can gain control and recognition this
way. Just because a person has taught for a number of years does not mean
that they are an expert.

Please reopen the Center for Teaching Excellence. Don't just put bandaids on
flex activities. Such actions will likely be utterly insufficient to what we really
need as teachers.

We need to reach out to our part-time faculty! Teaching methodology courses

The time slots vary from semester to semester in terms of my availability. I
already accumulate flex hours from things that I do off campus. I always get to at
least 100 hours before I just stop and turn in the form. So--I don't really need to
fill flex time from seminars that are offered on campus.
