I miss the teaching breakfasts, but I lurk on the email list for it because I hear at least some of the conversation…
On suggestion for increasing participation- have occasional meetings at a time other than 8:00am. Those of us who have school-age children and don’t live in Oneonta have a hard time making that time slot. I realize it helps remove conflict with class times,
but some departments have 8:00am classes and labs, too (Chemistry does). I really miss the TB group, but there’s no way I can make it at that time.

I love the Teaching Breakfast. I hope we can grow it. Lets move it to Fitzelle, perhaps in the lounge, to give some privacy.
And who do I ask to get coffee back? We have always had that as a little incentive- I think it will help us to rope in some people.
Coffiee is a part of the culture of our Teaching Breakfast….
Thanks,

TBers,
This is a reminder that our next Teaching Breakfast get together is tomorrow (Thursday) at 8 am outside Starbucks. The article linked to below is an example of how collectivist cultures have different expectations about “normal” school behavior for students.
This is worthy of a larger discussion which I hope we can have at tomorrows get together.
