<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>I hope you are well and it sounds like the meeting was very productive
and that some positive ideas came from it. Sorry that I didn't send these forms
out to you sooner, but I have been a bit poorly (sorry if this is all a bit
rambling or disjointed as a result of this!) Anyway, here is how one university
does their evaluation system and it is also an effective means for tracking
each individual learner's progress through a program (especially useful in
something like this where not all students are on the same timeline and are
producing individualised projects and exploring their own themes). For this
program there were ongoing assignments called Annotations, where students wrote
short 1-2 page process papers for everything they were reading or working with.
These Annotations were short responses that help the student to get in the
habit of writing constantly, whilst working through any writing issues or
anxieties they may have (the quality of these were varied depending on the
student, but they always got better and offered a record of their thoughts on a
subject)--and they were a way of apply the material to their own interests and
research ideas as they gradually emerge over the course of the semesters. The
idea was that when you completed the courses you would have a collection of
personalised Annotations that gave a brief overview of the materials you had
worked with, that informally explored themes, which was useful as a resource
when writing longer papers or more formalised articles. A couple of my annotations
were the first things I ever cleaned up (annotations can be relatively informal
and are governed more by ideas and engagement) and had published in journals
when I was starting out.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:

</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>One of the first exercises when starting off the very first semester
was the Study Plan as a Whole. This was an exercise where all students met with
their advisor/mentor as a group (usually around eight students) and the mentor
walks everyone through some of the expectations/vision and then they each
schedule a one-on-one meeting to discuss and negotiate what their interests
are, what some basic groundwork readings might be (some groups preferred to
have everyone in the group reading all the same material, whist others might
have a mix of individualised student readings, or even completely
individualised materials for each student with supplemental "all together
articles" for seminars), and to begin mapping out what the shape of their
studies overall might eventually be. The results of this were then written up
on the form and this becomes their tentative roadmap (and everyone's always
changed and morphs through the course of their studies), but this offers a good
place to start out and formalise what it is that you hope to achieve or examine
through your education (your learning contract of sorts). Also any changes that
happen would be address in each new Semester Study Plan as well as the
student's evaluation. This allows the curriculum to remain flexible and grow
with the student, but also offers something to gauge their progress through the
course of the semester and overall. For example: a student might say 'I would
like to examine the complete works of Proust.' …which through the course of the
semester might need to be changed to "I will read these three articles on
Proust X, Y, Z, while focussing on the introduction in 'In Search of Lost Time'
… or maybe they start Proust and realise they have no interest in it or it
isn't related to what they want to examine (or the project they subsequently
develop), in which case they have to address these concerns and changes in
their evaluation and next Semester Study Plan.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>At the end of each semester the students also fill out a Self
Evaluation, which offers a space for reflection on their process and progress
through the course. Also if there were any issues, this is their space to
unpack them. This is also useful if a student feels they received too harsh of
an Evaluation from their mentor, etc, the student can address this here. Each
Semester Self Evaluation is filed alongside the mentor's Evaluation of their
work and become married as their transcript. I could probably dig up a couple
filled-in examples of a Self Eval along with a Semester Advisor Eval (lecturers
evaluation of their work) if that is useful.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>The Final Student Self Evaluation is fairly self explanatory and is an
effort to bring all of the semesters together into a narrative of what they
studied. In many cases, overall themes and connections didn't emerge until this
final bit of reflection that brings all the efforts together. It is a place for
the student to shine and for some introspection.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

Subject: RE: SSC curriculum stuff -- to the wider group<br>
<br>
I think these are really useful notes. I'm only sorry that I cannot attend<br>
on 30 June.<br>
<br>
I think the issues identified here (soul/spirit, praxis, autonomy, critical<br>
learning, language and hidden curriculum) need to be integrated into the<br>
'curriculum framework'. I also think this curriculum framework actually<br>
looks more like a framework for the SSC project as a whole.<br>
<br>
I have made this point before but I also think that, at least when it comes<br>
to the learning process, we should be distinguishing only between teaching<br>
and learning, not between 'teacher-scholars' and 'student-scholars'. We will<br>
be expecting students to be taking on teaching roles and also expecting<br>
academics to take on learning roles. I think this is the key thing that<br>
distinguishes the SSC from other educational projects.<br>
<br>
The point about language is a good one and I still feel that some of the<br>
language we use is not accessible enough or perhaps not clear enough.<br>
For example, why say 'problematics' when we could just say 'issues'? Or what<br>
do we really mean by being 'critical'? Zoraida and I decided that probably<br>
what we mean is 'increasing awareness of our journey and of how we move<br>
forward in that journey'. Or again: are 'content' and 'process'<br>
really two dimensions? I think not. What does it mean to 'become otherwise'?<br>
What are 'scholarly literacies'? I do not know the answers to these two last<br>
questions.<br>
<br>
I think the concepts/themes of culture, economy, power and society are too<br>
broad to act as suitable foci. Gender, race, class, sexuality, age, the body<br>
are better. But why not just start with issue-based themes, as also<br>
suggested - poverty, unemployment, climate change, homelessness, debt,<br>
solidarity, etc?<br>
<br>
I think the correct term is 'spirit' rather than 'soul'. 'Soul' refers to<br>
the inner world of perceptions, feelings and will, whereas 'spirit'<br>
is what links this inner world with the outer world of the body. Spirit is<br>
about hope and a sense of purpose and direction and possibly also of<br>
communion or solidarity, as in the expressions 'community spirit' and 'team<br>
spirit'. The spirit of the SSC is what drives us forward (hence the term<br>
'inspiration'), enabling us to keep body and soul together.<br>
<br>
Hope this helps<br>
<br>
Pete<br>

Hi all!<br>
<br>
I'm very sorry if you have already received an email like this, but it's<br>
been pointed out that I was using the list of only people who came to the<br>
meeting on Friday and not the wider group of everyone who's expressed an<br>
interest in being involved in curriculum development (so to speak). Let's<br>
use this list to keep in touch and please forward to anyone you think is not<br>
on it but should be. Thanks in advance for your patience; steps in learning<br>
how to work together.<br>
<br>
I'm sending a copy of the notes from last Friday's meeting, which I will<br>
also post to the SSC website for others to see, and a suggestion for<br>
Saturday's workshop. The latter has been revised after some really<br>
thoughtful comments from Zoraida and Peter Somerville, around (1) the<br>
importance of recommending a starting point in learners' expectations and<br>
social concerns, (2) the importance of clarifying what we mean by 'themes',<br>
and (3) the importance of highlighting questions about evaluation (of<br>
learning journeys and of our own practices of working cooperatively). <br>
<br>
I'm planning to send this out to the whole group by Friday, unless I hear<br>
otherwise, and it can be revised until then!<br>
<br>
The workshop will involve smaller group discussions - does anyone else fancy<br>
facilitating or co-facilitating one?<br>
<br>
All best,<br>
Sarah<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
