Dear Friends, Somewhat to my surprise, a number of you actually read the links that I forwarded before the last Teaching Breakfast? Thank you, but as the famous conductor once said, "Never look at the trombones, it only encourages them." Here is another post that some of you might like to discuss: http://www.insidehighered.com/news/2013/02/19/high-school-teacher-alerts-professors-limitations-generation-no-children-left-behind Rather than having the discussion focus on what a bad thing this is (i.e. please refrain from bringing dead horses to the discussion), I would suggest that we discuss what new strategies we might use to teach students who have learned from experience that education consists only of filling in little boxes. Cordially, Harry Harry E. Pence SUNY Distinguished Teaching Professor Emeritus SUNY Oneonta ________________________________ From: Teaching Breakfast List [[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Greenberg, Jim Sent: Tuesday, February 12, 2013 10:23 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Next TB Meeting Reminder.

Dear Friends, Some colleges are beginning to rate students in terms of "job readiness." Is this a topic that we might like to discuss at a teaching breakfast? http://www.insidehighered.com/news/2013/02/12/technical-college-puts-job-readiness-and-attendance-scores-transcripts Harry Harry E.
