Good Evening!

My name is Isa Leal and I am PhD student at UC Davis in the Performance Studies Program with a Designated Emphasis in Practice as Research.

I am currently working on a project looking at verbalized pedagogy used in pre-jam classes.This tends to be where people get introduced to CI for the first time and I thought making qualitative data that we can talk about together may prove useful.

I. The Basics

-Would you be interested in collecting audio of your pre-jam class(es) and uploading it to a Drop Box? 

-Would you be interested in asking teachers at your jam for their consent to record their class for anonymized data?

-Do you know someone who facilitates a jam or is a pre-jam teacher that might be interested in the project?

if so.........................

II. More Informatiom

The Data: Audio recordings will be sorted by category according to the patterns that emerge in our collective pedagogy ( specifically in this case...what is said). The teachers whose classes are recorded will be anonymized. I am looking at making an archive that will be coded and accessible to the community at-large.

What Happens to The Data?: I am interested in writing about and making qualitative data of these findings ( similarities, differences, strengths, gaps, national/international/regional comparisions) but I am also interested in presenting and reviewing the data with other teachers in a teacher's meeting or other large group setting.
