Over the past year, we have increased our class sizes by 50% per section without any additional funding or time. One of our biggest concerns was maintaining instructional quality and not losing the personal connection with our students.
Sandy Keeter and I put our curly heads together to come up with some strategies for handling this challenge. Are you facing the same issues at your school, and if so, tell us what you are doing!
PS. In the link from my previous message, there is a picture of Laverne, Shirley, and Celine Dion. We are giving away prizes to those of you who can identify which lady is Celine, which one is Laverne, and which one is Shirley. (just kidding about the prizes...but who knows, maybe you will find a few of these women at the conference...and maybe you can get some autographs!!!!!)
I think I figured out who CeLine is...the one with the L on her chest, right...:)?!?
