This month Marianne Handler and Jan Naher-Snowden are beginning a new
forum for Teacher Education Faculty. The first meeting of that group
will be in the Comfy Conference Room and will focus on Preparing
Students to Visit ASO sessions. It is not unusual for a group of
pre-service students to attend an ASO session. It is not unusual for
them to gain good teaching ideas and have interesting interactions with
the leader and others attending the discussions. Unfortunately, it is
also not unusual to welcome to the discussions groups of students who
are unprepared and uncertain about expected online behaviors and
courtesies. It is the goal of this discussion group to help faculty plan
for the needed preparation prior to sending students to their first
virtual discussions.
