Every detector will be tested (hallways, offices and classrooms). The strobes and horns will be silenced during the testing, but the control panel will beep a notification.

What is the test? A Plant Services technician will be spraying simulated smoke by every detector head. When the detector notices the smoke, the panel will beep. (There is no way to silence the panel.)

On Thursday, Feb. 13, Plant Services will return after 5 p.m. to test the strobes and horns. During this test, the horns will sound for 30 minutes and will be very unpleasant. The testing will be over by 6:30 p.m. that evening.

Verdis Robinson (Black History Month guest speaker) and Paul Otto are running a faculty development workshop on role-immersion pedagogy from 1 to 3 p.m. on Monday, Feb. 10, in Roberts 120.

Reacting pedagogy engages students more deeply than common classroom practices and combines content instruction along with critical thinking, public speaking, persuasive writing, and teamwork. It is used in disciplines across the arts and sciences. As one professor said, “It’s the most rewarding teaching you can do, because students will take ownership of their learning.”

This two-hour workshop is a hands-on introduction to the pedagogy through a game that explores race, class, and frontier conflict in colonial Virginia. It will be a challenging and fun way to meet some of your faculty development credits.

Sign up here. Questions? Contact Paul Otto at potto@georgefox.edu.
