Urbany / Strunk Meeting June 15, 2009

Folks -

Bill and I met today -we are both pumped to get the design going for our new program.

Note the goals in the e-mail below. We need to develop 6-7 lessons, lay out all the concepts and the pedagogy
we used for MS and can now build up, exercises, manipulatives, etc. We then need
a series of teaching plans that:

(1) effectively convey a basic set of financial concepts
(2) build language-based problems into the program
(3) hit specific standards and link to skill-building for the ISTEPs (particulary written problems)

Time line:
June 15 - Aug 15: develop program, reproduce materials
Aug 20 or so - begin recruiting volunteers for the program, including training and 1 hr credit
Sept 1 begin training
Oct 1 get volunteers in classrooms, first just observing, then delivering an introductory lesson
before Mod 1 exams

Oct 26 Mod 2 starts ... 6 sessions, 1/week, weekly meetings

For June, Bill has afternoons on T, Th, Fri he could work on this with us. We also could see
if we can get a 1-year MBA team involved in the design, starting in July.

Brady, any chance of having just 1 lesson drafted by this Friday for us all to discuss?

thanks and talk to you soon
