California Institute of the Arts College (CalArts)Art and Graphic Design Departments
Robert collaborated with the faculty on how to better transfer their important content to the students through facilitation, visual mapping, and communication. This included professional development with both departments and demonstration lessons with students including content and formal critiques. The faculty observed students who rarely participated in discussions were actively involved. The faculty noted it is possible to elicit involvement from students. The students visually mapping the components of a critique prior to us doing a critique created a discussion on the value of visually seeing the components helped them more deeply understand the methods of critiquing. Students better understood as a result of visual mapping.

Robert facilitated over a two year period monthly professional development or youth program staff from fourteen housing agencies to teaching and curriculum development strategies for technology-enriched, out-of-school learning programs. It additionally supported collaboration development with the various agencies. The YDC workshops were documented by a professional videographer, a reporter, and a stenographer.

As the NY Times reported on July 21, 1984 ‘Members of Congress like to say their records speak for themselves. In the case of Representative Glenn M. Anderson, Democrat of California, it is a fact…. to introduce himself to some of his new constituents before the June 5 primary, Mr. Anderson made a record.’ Also view the letter (pdf) sent with the flexi record from Representative Augustus Hawkins who is also on the record.
