[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Teacher type buffista people: What's the phrase for when a group of teachers who teach the same students get together to try to harmonize their lesson plans so that compatible concepts are reinforced through different subjects? It has a name, I can't remember it.

Bwahahahaha. Trudy wins.
Collaborative teaching, team teaching, interdisciplinary planning, and cross-curricular planning are all terms that come to mind.

Also, teaching/writing across the curriculum is what I've heard most.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I've usually heard "writing across the curriculum" to mean the sort of program in colleges where, instead of everyone having to take a freshman writing seminar, they have writing-focused classes in various disciplines, so that you can take a course where you write about science, or write about architecture, or write about music, or whatever, rather than everyone taking the same generic "writing" class.

Yep, "writing across the curriculum" comes from the never-ending English teacher battle to get teachers in every discipline to teach, use, and assess writing. The idea that students only have to write in English may not be as common as it used to be, but it's still a pretty big fight.
(Case in point: One of my students last year was all upset and asked me if her math teacher was "allowed" to make them write an essay about math. I laughed. Then I sought out the math teacher and give him a big hug.)

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

That's a good enough excuse to not do the dishes then defrost the fridge, right?
