I really enjoyed Dr. Hauser’s lesson on effective meetings and appreciate her bringing back the agendas we had to create in her EAD 172 class. Most of the faculty meetings at my school are unproductive and do not accomplish the goals they are set to. My department meetings are much better but I like how an effective meeting should have involvement from everyone versus the meetings I go to where only one person does all the talking, most of which I’ve already read in the executive advisory minutes. I believe I’m going to use a consensus-gram like chart for my project in some form.
FRISK seems like an easy way to remember how to fill out a letter of reprimand, we’ll see how I feel when I have to turn it in.
FYI when you tweet about EAD 269 and add #csuflead as a hashtag your tweet will be viewable when people search for csufleads. Cool right? I'll be using that for my softball tweets from now on.
ReplyDeleteI just love how honest and open you are about your thoughts and reflections. I also thought FRISK process helps when writing a discipline letter.
ReplyDeleteyes, Pat assuming best intentions is gtreat advice! Its hard to do sometimes, but I am trying:)
ReplyDeleteIt is a scary thing dealing with student discipline-decisions we make can change a student's life! Documentation and lots od listening seem to be the best advice!
ReplyDeleteI also enjoy your openness, Pat. Deprivatizing our work and thoughts is one of the great obstacles in our profession and you are a great model of sharing openly.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
I agree with you, the part about discipline is the one thing that I really am not looking forward to when becoming a site administrator. I guess its just a part of it all and as long as discipline is not 100% of what you have to do, it will at least be bearable and hopefully can make a large impact on students who really need it.
