Attached to this email is a report on a Survey of High School Student Engagement. Thanks to Dick Staley and Joanne Curran for passing it to me. I would like to get a discussion about this report going at a future TB (next semester). So please, if you get a chance, look it over and take a note or two of what we can learn about our own students from this. For example, I hear faculty talk about our studentıs reading habits. This report indicates that 80% of High School students spend less than 3 hours per week reading. Perhaps expecting them to read 5 or more hours per week is unrealistic given their habits? (Did I really just write that!?) As a reminder, the last TB of the semester is Dec. 1 at 8 am in Morris Hall. The topic is Giving Exams Demonstrating Student Understanding. For ideas on how to do this see http://teaching.berkeley.edu/compendium/sectionlists/sect22.html. Bring your good and bad exam ideas with you and share them with others. Hope to see you there. Have a happy Thanksgiving break and in the spirit of acronyms remember this holiday break, ³Truly you are the key.² Mr. James B.
