Semester planning

Faculty are back next week; students the week after. Time to get back to setting discrete, weekly goals and reporting on whether or not I've met them. In the past it has helped to assign days to goals; I'll try to do that in the future. This is mostly a brain dump of things in the hopper.

I have the following projects/grants in the fire (not everything in bullets is a discrete plan...):

1. Writing grant: book is in contract. Due in March; revisions due by June.
1. weekly meetings for 2 hours; will set plans for the week ahead based on those meetings
2. hire a student (Kim has suggestions)
3. writing weekend at Reno (check with Brandi)
4. organize server for files
2. TE grant: goals articulated here (a private blog):  https://transformativephysics.wordpress.com/2015/03/10/future-work/
1. discuss new hires with Brian - John & Angie? - check budget and with PO
2. AAPT abstract(s) for AAPT
3. turn what's on the te blog into discrete goals (<-- this is a discrete goal!)
4. contact colleagues about administering survey
5. contact Ellie with questions about IRB & the above.
3. Triad Grant: developing two sets of lesson plans with teachers/student teachers around themes of energy
1. email calendar to Al & Tal
2. email teachers/triads, set up dates
4. CPD Grant: no work this fall! Starts up again in the Spring.
5. Work with Tufts: this is due to them on Tuesday...
1. collate all notes
2. revise analysis, send to Jen Richards
3. meet with Tufts
4. possible: develop a TE related paper from the data 
6. PERLOC Chair: meeting, consider implications from PERC survey, etc.
1. schedule meeting

7. Dossier due September 18
1. CV is ready
2. collect articles/chapters/books for dossier
3. get teaching evals
4. write up each section
5. evidence of service?
8. CSU PER :

9. Two search committees (CHICO PHYSICS WILL BE HIRING IN PER!)

Other goals of papers (see last post) are definitely back-burner projects.
