Professor Presentations for Spring of 2007

We are still working on the Professor Presentation schedule for this semester, but I can confirm that Dr. Marcy Driscoll will be presenting at 12:15pm on Feb. 21st. She has asked that we send her our own questions related to the "Politics of Education", as well as any questions that we might have about her text, "Psychology of Learning for Instruction". Please post your questions as a comment to this post.

And please stay tuned as we will be posting updates on the Professor Presentation schedule.
