Lessons

  • Teaching Together was hard at first
  • Naming a course as "CE", and then merging GS and GSK into it was hard too
  • Coherence and Structure of the Course was at times iffy
  • Teaching Together made sense later....when we got tired
  • Merging GS and GSK into CE made us think deeper about curriculum and practice
  • Some Through-Lines emerged as we thought about and worked the Content.
  • E.g Pointillism and Emergence ( after Stephen Johnson )
  • E.g. Alice in Wonderland and Schelling Points
  • Assignment were more nuanced perhaps, with three areas for assignments?
