Collaborative instruction is the primary mission of the Campbell Commons. We can help plan, teach, and even assess learning experiences that use the power of inquiry, critical thinking, and technology to help students meet the standards of your courses. We are happy to create new and different projects with each teacher each time, but we can also adapt projects used by other teachers to provide learning experiences that can be implemented with a minimum of planning time.Please contact Marty (Martha) Blaydes or Andy Spinks to schedule a class visit and fine tune the planning of your project.
