The work we'll be doing over the next few months will fall into three categories:

• Private - for personal use. (To develop this work effectively, it would be of great value to keep a reflective logbook or diary of your teaching as we proceed. You'll also want to think of capturing evidence as we go along);
• Protected - shared with each other within the Commons;
• Public - in our portfolios, on the web.

We're currently examining/working on the contextual setting of our itp work, which we're addressing in four areas:

• How we got into teaching (covered in first session)
• What it's like where we teach (covered in first session)
• Aims/objectives for the itp course we teach (for second session)
• Our teaching philosophy (for second session)

So there are three things to bring with you on November 11th:

• Both the "aims" and "philosophy" pieces at Protected level
• A first draft of a "context" piece at "public" level (this may draw from any of the four areas - or from something else we haven't explicitly considered, of course)
