=Vanderbilt Ed.D. Cohort - 2014 =

Welcome!
This is a place for us to keep a catalogue of reading summaries, class activities, and other things that arise as we travel through the three years together. You'll notice that each class has it's own distinct page. On each page, you'll find a week-by-week breakdown of class. There is a space for us to add an executive summary and the major themes from each class. Similarly, at the bottom of each page is an area for the readings from that week's classes. Again, think about adding an executive summary to the space.

It's probably best that we divide and conquer. As we move through, I'll update the reading lists for each class. When you have time prior to the first week of class, put your name by a reading so we know that you'll be supplying the executive summary. Similarly, feel free to designate for which class week you will supply the summary and themes our weekends together**.**

**Where to Start**
 * 1) On the left you will see several options. For the most part, I imagine we'll be working on class specific postings. Year One Courses, for example, contains the 2 courses that we will both (K12 and Higher Ed) take this summer.
 * 2) If you click on LPO 3450 (our leadership course), you will see the general format of each of the pages here. Feel free to suggest additions/deletions/etc.
 * 3) At the top of each page is a section for each class meeting we have. At the bottom of the page each reading is listed. If you look at the Yokl reading on introducing leadership, I have posted a high-level outline. It isn't by any means meant to be wholly comprehensive, but, it goes give a general overview of the article (At least my understanding of it as I read through and took notes).
 * 4) To **ADD / EDIT** a page: On the far right tab of the page (just beneath the yellow banner at the top of the page), there is a link that will say **Edit**. By clicking on that page, a new screen will open that will allow you to enter text onto the page itself. You should see a familiar (Word-style) toolbar at the top. When finished, hit **SAVE** to close the edit window and add your comments to the Wikispace.
 * 5) Once you find an article that you'd like to do, please put your name beside of it and enter your summary in the same fashion. It could be a paragraph or an outline -- whatever you find works best for you. I think I speak for all of us in that we'll be appreciative regardless.
 * 6) For those of you new to wikispaces.com, please check out the tutorial videos here A WikiSpaces Tutorial. Should you need further assistance, shoot me a note and I can talk with you on the phone.
 * 7) We will be able to update this as we go. If we find that it gets too large, we can split into separate wikispaces (by year or by
 * 8) To **PRINT** a page from wikispaces, click on the arrow (downward pointing triangle) directly to the right of the **PAGE** tab. A list of options will appear, including print and print as PDF (for those of us electronic in nature). That will allow you to quickly print our collective work and use it offline.
