The problem is not time or the iRAT. The problem I encountered this semester was an accomodation student who was refusing to do any teamwork whatsoever: in class and outside of class. He informed me that he would do all assignments on his own even though his accomodation letter did not indicate that he was exempt from teamwork.
I suggested a couple of times that he switch to another section. We run 55-60 sections of this course every semester. I am the only instructor using TBL. He refused both times.
I talked to the Director of Disability Resources and Services and met with the Academic Advisor, both of whom also suggested he switch sections. My wonderful colleague who teaches a section at the same time as me kindly agreed to admit an extra student and he finally switched.
However, the Senior Vice Dean of the Business School wanted me to attend a University Program Committee (UPC) meeting to explain why I was doing something different in my sections than everyone else. Another department administrator convinced the SVD that teaching approach did not fall under the mandate of the UPC, so my appearance was cancelled.
Nonetheless, last Monday, I still had to meet with the SVP and our department administrator to explain TBL to the SVP. She warned me that we could be setting ourselves up for liability if we force accomodation students out of our classes for any reason.
Sorry to be so long. The major issue for me was not TBL, but my flipped classroom. I would love to continue the discussion in San Diego!
Sincerely,
Judith

For our "quiet environment" accommodation students we have small group rooms throughout our building and just outside of every classroom. We simply reserve one of those, they take the iRAT and then rejoin the class when they are done.

I am trying to follow the TBL approach as closely as I can and I as well as many of my students are happy with the process and outcome. There certainly is room for improvement and I have targeted a few areas that were implemented this past year and have some ideas already for next year.

>> I would welcome the opportunity for me and a colleague to visit your institution (if more than one course uses TBL) or your course (if you are the sole TBL’er) to see how you express TBL in the classroom. I think I need to see TBL in action from someone else to become better at it myself. I suspect there are others out there that would enjoy the same opportunity. I currently teach in a physical therapy program at the graduate level so visiting an upper level medical/clinical program would be most desirable but would certainly entertain any offers. Could turn into a peer mentor or support group. So…..who wants company?
