Next week we will be focussing on the writings people bring. Can you each try to log into http://www.spanglefish.com/livingvaluesimprovingpracticecooperatively

The CPD Project members’ page will be visible. You download and read members’ writings. Please send me your writings and I will add them.

(If you want to join or be affiliated to the project drop us a line and we will send you the password.)

 

To develop our cooperative working when we cant all be present at each meeting can you please respond to people on the site. I suggest you write your thoughts in WORD then copy and paste – you then don’t run the risk of loosing work.

At the meeting Thursday 29^th we will start with catching up and then focus on learning to respond helpfully to Michael, Tracey and other people’s writings as they get their enquiries underway.

We will be working on extending our study skills and our critical engagement with the literature at the meeting Thursday 6^th Oct. We will focus our conversation on:

 

Whitehead, J. (1989) Creating a living educational theory from questions of the kind, "How do I improve my practice?'. Published in the Cambridge Journal of Education, Vol. 19, No.1,1989, pp. 41-52

 

You can access an online copy if you go into the ‘Reading Room’ page

Sonia will upload details of Carer’s booklet and DVD on http://www.livinglearning.org.uk and send post the link on the message board of where you can access and download it from. Do check it out! Sonia wants help to get to a first draft of her first assignment by the end of November.

 

Maureen is working on her journal and a conference and will post a link to any online material on the Message board when ready.

We focused on Joy’s writings as she is starting on her dissertation – can be accessed by members when they log in to the site. Reading and responding to other peoples writings is really important and helps each and all so please don’t be shy.

 

Hoping to start the Tuesdays soon – will keep you posted. Do stay in touch through the site and/or by emails if you can’t get to meetings.
