Our most valuable asset at Cuyamaca College is our constellation of innovative teachers, both full- and part-time. And our best vehicle for nurturing effectiveness in the classroom is the sharing of ideas. Semester after semester, our open forum has been a huge success. We offer it again this time. Our primary focus will be on pedagogical strategies in the communication arts, but anyone is welcome who is anxious to teach writing and reading better. Come prepared to share your best discoveries. Come with questions and problems. Come ready to collaborate with your colleagues. This time our focus will be on incorporating Student Learning Outcomes (SLO’s) into the curriculum.
