Free Food… For Thought is an open group being formed with the intention of meeting monthly to discuss issues related to the heart of what we do here at HVCC… teaching.
The initial meeting will be held on Monday, April 15 in Campus Center 150 at noon. The first part of this initial meeting will involve discussion of what the group would like to see as to topics, times, and places for future sessions, followed by our inaugural subject to chew on, “Excuses, Excuses.”
“Excuses, Excuses” will be a discussion of how to deal with those students who either authentically have one thing after the other go wrong in a semester or who are fabricating such situations, and how to tell the difference. Or should we be involved in trying to tell the difference? What are your classroom policies as to absences, and are they working for you and your students? How do you deal with students and their struggles with the changes that come with first attending college? Come and share your ideas or questions around this very real and very timely dilemma.
If you have any questions about the group, please contact Nicole Arduini-VanHoose, Caelynn Prylo or Vonnie Vannier.
