THE DWC CURRICULUM GUIDE

The DWC is once again compiling materials for a CURRICULUM GUIDE that will be available to members. The guide is an invaluable tool for both new teachers and veterans alike, but it takes input from *YOU* to make it work! SUSAN KRUMHOLZ will be collecting materials for the guide, in the form of syllabi, class exercises or assignments, annotated lists of films or resources, course reading lists, testing or assessment tools, or pedagogical essays. She will be collecting them at the Thursday breakfast meeting at the ASC conference, so just bring them along on your laptop or flashdrive. If everyone brings one item for the guide, imagine how helpful it could be! Alternately, go ahead and email your materials to Susan now! Her address is skrumholz@umassd.edu.
