SAVE THE DATES: AIM Group Meetings for 2010

Since 2008 adjuncts from all departments and campuses have met once a month at various restaurants to share their CSM experience. No specific agenda guides the discussions; rather, discussions reflect the experiences and concerns of the adjuncts at the times of the meetings. Discussion topics have included teaching techniques, classroom management, rubrics, department policies, etc. AIM provides adjuncts an excellent opportunity to develop supportive relationships with others in their departments and from other campuses. A grant from The Division of Distance Learning and Faculty Development (DLF) pays for the meals enjoyed at the meetings.


Schedule for AIM meetings:

September 10 11:30 a.m. Nicolletti's, 22741 Three Notch Road (Rt. 235), California
