== 1. EduTC to act as ISAO Steering Committee confirmed ==
<br>
<br>
* IAOA EC accepts the understanding of how EduTC will steer ISAO
<br>
<br>
* communicated agreement:
<br>
< partial copy of EC meeting n.153, Aug 29, pre-meeting
material >
<br>
<br>
[based on Education Committee meeting of Aug 10, 2016]
<br>
<br>
The EduC accepts the task of steering ISAO schools, by which the
<br>
following is understood:
<br>
<br>
* the main task is to try to initiate ISAO schools regularly,
<br>
which means to:
<br>
** try finding a general chair, PC chair(s), possibly local
chair(s)
<br>
** this will be coordinated with FOIS hosting proposals, keeping
in
<br>
mind an intended direct link or nearby location
<br>
** general and PC chairs are responsible for identifying
facilitators,
<br>
scheduling the program, etc., but the EduC will monitor their
<br>
activities and might give advice and (limited) support
<br>
<br>
* if reasonable attempts to fill those positions fail, this will
be
<br>
communicated to the EC, but there is <span
class="moz-txt-underscore"><span class="moz-txt-tag">_</span>no
obligation<span class="moz-txt-tag">_</span></span> to fill any
<br>
of the open positions by EduC members
<br>
<br>
* other steering decisions, e.g. on the frequency of ISAO events,
can
<br>
also be made by the EduC and will be coordinated with the EC

comment by FL, Aug 03 [1]:
<br>
* clarify scope & target audience of the textbook
<br>
* in case of a teaching focus, start collecting
<br>
** teaching and learning goals
<br>
** topics
<br>
* formal representation and languages: which level/aspiration in
this
<br>
respect?
