We do the MAP tests three times a year. This is a good test. It helps measure growth and can offer proof that an interdisciplinary, project-based approach fosters the development of academic skills. <\/p>\n
It’s still a test, though, and brings up all the rage or at least frustration students tend to feel about tests. While our advisory talked about growth targets last week, we began today by thinking about a question I hope fuels third quarter: What inside you do you need to get out to the world? What do you want to show the world? (For some reason I had a bad Cat Stevens song stuck inside my head<\/a>, not a good one.<\/a>) <\/p>\n Here are the responses: I want to learn something new. JH<\/p>\n I want people to acknowledge me and what I do. JF <\/p>\n Third quarter I think I need to get the part of me that is caring and shows that I care about the people around me. TJC <\/p>\n I need to give the world the projects we do. BR <\/p>\n I would like my perspective to get out into the world. JW <\/p>\n (I want to get the…) story of what we do and what we do to help others (out into the world). TC <\/p>\n I want to get my commitment to projects into the world. When I start a project, I commit myself to it until it is done (or until I run out of time). ES <\/p>\n This quarter I want to show that I can get my work done. CB <\/p>\n I can’t keep this project in any longer…I know people will love what I’m trying to do and will want to be apart of it. HG <\/p>\n I want to be more of a leader, a positive leader, this quarter because I know I can make it happen. JJ <\/p>\n I want to show how we can make the community better.
