First-year seminar course

This will mean that I will have June 23 - August 15 or so off this summer.  Of that time, I am already going to Philadelphia for a week, Sri Lanka for the Vandu Paaru program for three weeks, and DC for a week.  Once I return, I will have to immediately plan for Foundations of Secondary Education, which will be subject to significant revisions.  I will be teaching 6 different courses, no repetitions in preps.  Two of those will be new courses.  I haven't had a year yet that I haven't taught a new course, if not several.  My first year, of course, all of my courses were new.  In my second year, I taught the MAIT 404 Capstone course and then the Foundations of Adolescent Literacy course.  

At least, I am not serving on as many committees.  

I am supposed to be cutting back.  I am not doing well on that.
