Discussion of chapter 1 from The Art of Community (PDF).
Our specific discussion will center on next steps for Third Thursday work. Included is the body of the email sent last week:
Would you please humor me and read chapter 1 of this book for Monday?
My request is inspired by your work with the teachers on Thursday.
We'll finish "Whack" shortly, but this is a timely chapter, and I'd
like us to be able to have it under our belts as we proceed. I'm
particularly interested in your thoughts on what tools we might need
and approach we might take to getting our TT (Third Thursday) project
"launched." Bacon's book will help us frame this conversation. In
other words: come in ready to start talking about the idea of
community and, specifically, how do we encourage it.
And, I'll try and get our course webpages updated tomorrow afternoon.
To close, I want to thank all of you for your participation Thursday
evening. I thought there was the start of a very good dynamic there,
and both Ann and Chris went off excited to talk to their colleagues
about what's going on. Your interactions laid a really good foundation
for our next steps. Thank you.
