About me

I have a passion for education and especially for ensuring that all of us continue to apply what we have learned. I am excited about the opportunity that the Lounge provides for all of us to discuss how we are applying what we have learned & to share those great ideas.

I have had a varied background from secondary education to corporate training & now working in the career college sector. But while I have moved in different circles it has always been surrounding my passion of education. I look forward to our conversations.

Rhonda, this is a great way to stay "fresh" in the field. I also like to find texts that I'm not using, that way at least I get other perspectives. Dr. Ryan Meers

Evaluating Individual Effort While Working with a Group

Dale, I do a similar thing in the course where I most heavily use student groups. I think there needs to be an outlet for individual evaluation, but also that element of group accountability. Dr. Ryan Meers
