Not that I'm looking for another thing to add to my to do list, but I think a system like this would really help improve our awareness of each others teaching styles as well as make integration much easier as well. If anyone else is interested, perhaps we could pilot with a few volunteers next year?

The science department has communication as one of its grading categories. The overlap with the humanities is too big to ignore. Can we do some work to tie our standards/rubrics together more cohesively?

I think reviewing our policy would be a good idea. I do think there are many missed teaching opportunities resulting from our existing policies. The question is, do the costs outweigh the benefits?

Amen to this. Please...PLEASE, I'm begging you, consider non-MS Office formats. I hate waiting 15 seconds for Word to launch just to read a text document. Web browsers are great at rendering text. Blogs are so much more interactive.
