REQUIREMENTS 1. We facilitate this PERSISTENCE program to allow participants to telecommute as much as possible by:     - Attending tuesday, thursday or saturday community hours/sessions/workshops by invitation, although we are located in the Cedar Room Longhouse Learning Center, our classroom is the world.     - Frequently visiting our Persistence web page and perhaps contribute building it.     - Joining and participating in our Persistence program list (TBA).     - Joining and participating in our Persistence program Moodle web site (TBA).     - Encouraging co-learners to use their evergreen email, their web space, all resources, events and facilities on campus.     - Encouraging co-learners to use the available most advanced means of communication, Internet, KAOS Radio, Cooper Point Journal and TCTV. 2. We respect the courage of learners who can think out of the box and celebrate with them the creation of their own educational path by responding to the following 4 questions as a starting point to build their emerging curriculum.  Email it to persistence@lists.evergreen.edu (TBA) and to your Team.      - What do you want to learn? (content and goal)  - How are you going to learn it? (use multiple intelligences, Choice Theory, Pedagogy of the Oppressed)  - What do you plan to do with what you've learned? (the move from theory to practice, i.e., praxis)  - What difference will it make?  (build in reflection and assessment, from which springs the next round of the four questions) 3. We are currently experimenting with a learner-centered assessment that we hope will best respond to the needs of our learners who are highly self motivated and completely responsible for their own education. At the end of your participation in the program we ask you to follow these exit steps: - By week 8 of the ending quarter (much earlier in Spring), choose a date in week 9/10 (week 5 in Spring) in our website and email us an invitation to your learning summary seminar and, if you choose to do it, to your formal presentation also. - Carefully write and EMAIL us (your faculty team) an academic essay in the 3rd. person written by you about your own work and addressing the credits that will reflect your learning. - If you choose to write your formal self-evaluation (which is NOT your academic essay), sign it and take 2 copies to Registration. - Write your formal faculty/program evaluation and take it to our Program Support Office in Lab I First floor or just email it to us and to persistence@lists.evergreen.edu
