Hi! Asa here.
I want to start of by thanking you all for electing me to EPC. Student EPC representative is a position of great trust, and I'll do my best to live up to that trust. A standing committee like EPC tends to have some bureaucratic inertia, so change isn't going to come quickly, but as I take office I'm going to be working hard to shape the discussion to the educational ideals of you, the student body, while also making EPC more transparent and open to direct input. This blog is a first step towards that goal.
Now, for the Nitty Gritty stuff. I'm going to try and update this blog, either with text or with video, and sometimes with both every weekend that school is in session. These will be the detail posts, talking about what EPC is working on, and calling for your input. In addition, I'll occasionally post over the week and when school is out. These posts are more likely to be about interesting educational research and my own personal thoughts on what progressive education means. On top of regular posting, this site will also have a contact page, where you can contact us through all the regular and irregular methods, a page dedicated to what EPC is and does, for those of you who asked me before the elections, and a page on current EPC projects, so the wonks out there can stay in the loop on Putney educational policy (I'm not the only one, right? right?). [Please note that these pages aren't finished yet and probably won't be for at least another week or so.] Oh, and one more thing, as the sidebar says, I might be holding conference block if interest is high enough, but for now, just feel free to shout me out whenever you see me, and I'd be happy to talk (granted that I'm not headed somewhere urgent).
That's all for now folks. I'll see you on campus Monday, and I look forward to serving you.
