LPC Lesson Study and Katie Hern’s Visit

Posted by Katie on May 14, 2009 in Basic Skills in Context, Developing Questions, Literacy, Making Visible, Metacognition, Video Evidence, Writing with No Comments


I posted before about how valuable Coach Katie’s visit to LPC was . . . I have now posted the lesson study questions that informed our discussion of the lesson, which we watched footage of during our meeting.  It was very interesting to consider the value and utility of the grammar lesson from the student’s perspective.  I think we all agreed that it’s hard for students to see the grammar in context when it is taught in the lab.  The best thing the assistants do is have students write their own sentences, as opposed to just checking over workbook sentences.  So, check out the media library for the lesson study questions.  More on our answers to the questions at the FIN retreat!

Door Number One

Door Number One offers introductory profiles of a dozen of the many Programs and Services offered at Chabot College. Students, Staff, and Faculty share their experiences and offer their perspectives about why these Programs and Services are so vital, and what students can expect if they just “Pick One.” And along the way, we see what it takes to successfully repel a Zombie Student Attack on Chabot College!

 

 

The creation of  Door Number One was generously supported by:

* SPECC (Strengthening Pre-collegiate Education in Community Colleges), a joint project of the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, and the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation

*Chabot Student Services Funding for Retention Initiatives

*Chabot Enrollment Management Committee (CEMC)

*CLPCCD Office of Public Information and Marketing
