This week is a very crazy week. Monday-Friday this week form 8am-5pm, I'm taking my 3rd to last class here at Eastern Mennonite University. The class I'm taking this week is called "Creating Cultures of Change: Constructivist Environments." The class explores practical implications of constructivist theory in classrooms. It also emphasizes concepts such as reflective practice, student-centered learning, and process for change.
Overall, the class has not been stimulating or interesting. I feel like I got a lot of this material already, which is a bit frustrating. But, on the other hand, I have been challenged to think about and re-think about things - especially change in an organization and how to be a constructivist through preaching. This can be challenging, but it works some - like last week I talked and begged the question a bit about the movie "The Passion" before I came out and labeled the movie. Did anyone catch that?
Today we had a Ph.D. come in from James Madison University - the head of their philosophy department and talk to us about how philosophy and constructivist go together. Monday night I had an IMPACT TEAM meeting at my house, where I got together with 15 or so people who are helping me to put together a Saturday night worship experience, which will launch September 27th.
Last night I had Grow Group at Adam and Melissa Markley's house. It was okay - Adam was immature and needs to grow up. Just kidding. More like Jeremy needs to. Just kidding again. Ha! Ha!
Tonight I'm going out to dinner with four people. Tell you about it tomorrow!
