Homework due day 5
As a group, produce a detailed overall plan for the first math
camp, ie the schedule (timing each day), what topics will happen when,
and who will teach them. Please either upload to dropbox, or deliver
a couple of copies to one of our mailboxes, by noon Monday. Also
include: your detailed evaluation plan for the two non-content goals
you chose (keep in mind the level of detail discussed in
class, and formative vs summative evaluation), an evaluation plan for
the content goals, who is doing evaluation in each time slot, and who
is getting/setting up snacks each day. You don't need lesson plans;
you will do these next week.
There are three main requirements:
- First, each of you must have an equitable share of teaching responsibilities and opportunities. When it comes to teaching, this means a
fair distribution of time, but it also means that everyone has a chance
to try different techniques; you may not have the best lecturers, or the
least nervous ones, do all the speaking.
- Second, at all times one of you must be "our" observer,
ie, somebody we are able to direct to observe particular things that we
choose.
This is independent of your observers that you assign as part of your
evaluation plan.
- Third, somebody must be available to talk to parents as they drop
students off (eg, from 12:30pm-1pm)
Beyond that, it's up to you how you do things.
Have fun with it.
Don't forget that the grass area outside is also available.
You can talk to Amy or Tracy about money for snacks, materials, and so forth.
