Hello all!

Welcome back! I hope that the semester is starting off well and you have been able to have lots of meaningful interactions with your students.  We are continuing to expand the Teaching Breakfast/Coffee Chat conversations by alternating weekly between the two options: Teaching Breakfast on Thursday mornings and a new time for Coffee Chat on Wednesdays at noon.  We will continue to meet both in person and virtually, so if you feel comfortable participating in person, come on down; if you would rather meet via Teams, hop on your computer!  These spaces will continue to be a place to come together to talk about new modalities you might be using to teach and hopefully share and get a few answers.

Because we are holding Coffee Chat during the lunch hour, we recognize the potential for conflicts with other events.  This week's Faculty Convivium is Elyssa Stoddard's presentation "Why it Makes Sense: Understanding Teacher Candidates' Attention to Mathematical Practices."  We would highly recommend attending this if seating is still available.  To reserve a seat you can call X2517.  You can visit the Faculty Convivium website<https://suny.oneonta.edu/faculty-convivium> for additional information.
We will continue with our Coffee Chat meeting for anyone who is not able to attend.

  *   Coffee Chat, Wednesday at noon, February 15, 12:00-1:00pm: Fitzelle Faculty Lounge, Room 159 and on the Spring 2023 Coffee Chat Teams space<https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3ameeting_OWJhNDBmNjMtZmMxOS00ZTZjLThhZGMtYmM3OThhOWEzOGZl%40thread.v2/0?context=%7b%22Tid%22%3a%22b2c9b1a8-d1ad-4c9f-9172-728a8c08eb65%22%2c%22Oid%22%3a%22acdbd4c6-8ceb-4ccb-b54d-35c4ab20321f%22%7d>.

Our weekly reading provides a framework to help students better understand what is expected of them to be successful in their courses on campus.

  1.  The Go for Green Constructive Learning Method<https://thelearnwellprojects.com/article/the-go-for-green-constructive-learning-method-part-3/> - This article from the LearnWell Projects explores how students' can better identify the required thinking skills to be successful in studying course content and topics. This is actually part three of a series.  We chose this one as it does a good job covering the entire process.  If you are interested in reading the other articles here are the links to Part 1 - introduction<https://thelearnwellprojects.com/article/go-for-green-constructive-learning-1/> and Part 2 - course topics and content<https://thelearnwellprojects.com/article/go-for-green-constructive-learning-2/>.

We look forward to hearing how you support your students to help them be successful in the classroom.  We hope to see you on Wednesday at noon for Coffee Chat (February 15) if you can make it!
