A Conversation about ECCTYC

At the start of the 2005-2006 academic year, Modesto Junior College hired many new faculty members to join their already flourishing Literature and Language Arts Division. In addition to presenting at the conference, five new faculty hires, as well as one of the members of the hiring committee, ventured to the ECCTYC conference in Long Beach California. This blog is a creation of the conversations that ensued following the presentation and attendance of that conference.

Acknowledgements and Thank Yous

Welcome to our ECCTYC blog: a conglomeration of the voices of Optimism One, Jason Wohlstadter, Deborah Gilbert, Adrienne Peek, and Emily Malsam. The included conversations took place over the course of several weeks (end of September-end of October) and extended discussions on preparation, implementation, and academic interest. While we are currently the only contributing members, we humbly invite all those within ear shot (or computer screen) to contribute. Please feel free to contact us for information on contributing.

We invite you to peruse the posts on this page, as well as the mounting comments that are attached to each individual post.

Finally, we'd all like to acknowledge the hard work of Mr. Patrick Bettencourt who provided the catalyst and inspiration for our participation. In addition, we are very grateful to Dr. Robert for her professional and financial support. On a personal note, I would also thank my fellow colleagues for sharing so much of their personal philosophies, materials, and anecdotes.
