Discussion Boards through Blackboard (WKU students) will be used to allow us to talk about important concepts and issues as you apply strategies in the field.  Discussion Board topics will emerge and will be posted throughout the year.  You will be notified by email when a new topic has been posted.  Participants are expected to respond to each Discussion Board topic within one week of the posting date.  Multiple replies (grand conversations) are encouraged as you discuss and share ideas with other participants.  Directors will be reading and responding to topics as we go along.

To facilitate students’ ability to become reflective educators, decision makers, and to construct meaning for an understanding of the interrelationships and application of educational theory into classroom practices, students will engage in Discussion Board entries responding to the assigned prompt.  The purpose of this assignment is to allow students to reflect, explore and dialogue with the university instructor and with each other concerning topics and issues discussed in class or as these issues relate to the experiences of the student.
