Announcements

1. Calling all book orders, please . . .  Submit online at iusb.bncollege.com.  You'll begin by registering.  Please note that the login is NOT your IU credentials.  You'll need to create a new user name and password. 
   
   Even if you do not need a book for a class, you must submit that to this online site.  
   
   There are drop-down choices for Summer 2010 and Fall 2010, so you can submit orders for both those terms starting now. 
   
   Finally, please note the requested due dates are Summer (March 1), Fall (April 1), and Spring (October 1).  As noted in faculty meeting last week, it is best if you can meet those deadlines.
   
   
2. F100 location in annual reports.  As decided in faculty meeting on Friday, if you teach a section of F100 Introduction to Teaching, you should include that in your annual report under ADVISING.  When discussed there, it should not be discussed in any other part of the report.  (This would be true of all items included in the annual report.  Include anything you feel is germane, but include it only one time in the report.)
   
   
3. Indiana's Race to the Top application has implications for teachers and teacher education.  You can read the state's submission at http://www.doe.in.gov/fastforward.  See section D(2) on page 63 for information on teacher effectiveness and section D(4) on page 84 for implications for higher education.
   
   
4. If you have other announcements for the department, please feel free to post them as comments to this.
