2007 Fall Working
Retreat Pre-Meeting
Resources>> This is a “working” retreat—in practical
terms what that means is there are no official “presentations”
or “sessions” and that as a group we’re collectively
responsible for the quality of what happens there.Oury goal is to
provide the space and time for us to have some rich and in-depth
discussions about key issues relevant to the Transition Math Project
and to produce some tangible work related either to our statewide
project (e.g., the problems/examples work, college readiness/placement
assessment, …) or to specific local partnership efforts (e.g.,
Cascadia’s work with Northshore in terms of curriculum mapping
around the College Readiness Standards). We’ll talk a bit more about the process when
we gather, but just to give you a basic idea, the approach is what
some folks have referred to over the years as
“open space technology” ; more recently, the high-tech
world has adapted a similar notion in a model people call “Bar
Camps” . Ws're not interested in a rigid application of
any particular model, so don’t worry about memorizing any
of the rules, but we’ve found that a loose application of
this approach works well for this kind of group and context. And
if things aren’t working we can always shift gears and adapt! Who: Proposed topics include:
Where: When:
Registration: PLEASE NOTE: The unique conferencing environment at the Rainbow Ldge includes room-sharing. Accommodations are comfortable but modest. Please advise us if an individual's name makes it difficult to discern whether male or female so that embarrassing situations can be avoided. The cuisine at Rainbow Lodge allows for many dietary choices and restrictions. If you feel that your needs are exceptionally unique, please advise us and we will work with the chef to meet those needs.
Agenda: Directions: 46820 SE Mt Si Rd
