Professor Lindeboom has been teaching at CCSF since 1978.
He says that we teach languages backwards---listening before speaking. His teaching goal is to change that. To that end, he has developed an innovative, interactive, speaking method that stresses speaking over listening. He has formalized this method in his book, "People Talk". He says that "People Talk" is the most important book to emerge in education in the past 177 years because it models how we can displace passive learning with active learning so as not to teach backwards. Teaching backwards means we teach to memory and not to thinking. That is the single, biggest problem in education and something that needs to be changed. For further information regarding Professor Lindeboom's method, see montagemethod.com.
Professor Lindeboom has written and published: Job Lines #1; Job Lines #2; and People Talk.
His enjoys reading, writing, seeing films, traveling abroad, developing teaching materials, and coaching baseball.

Because ESL is a skill area, I plan lessons in which students practice the language in a number of ways and get detailed feedback. In more than thirty years of teaching and doing teacher training here and on other continents-Tonga in Oceana, Spain in Europe, Algeria in Africa, and Japan in Asia, I've selected and developed lessons to assess and develop students' English-language skills in a way that's relevant to their college courses, future careers, and lives as informed and active citizens with a global perspective."

Ms. Smith has been teaching at CCSF since 1984. She states that "Community Colleges are the heart of education in the United States and it is the students who make the college a dynamic arena for education. I understand that my ESL students are not majoring in English. They need English to take classes in their fields of study. Writing skills are learned by writing. Students need to be curious, inquisitive and open. It is the job of the instructor to arouse curiosity, model inquisitiveness, and provide a learning environment where students feel respected, inspired and encouraged. ESL students need explicit instruction in grammar. Grammar does not 'come along'. I teach my students how to be their own best editors."
She is a previous chair and current member of the ESL Credit Curriculum Committee and has written curriculum for both the non-credit and credit divisions of the ESL department. She also is a present participant in the Asian Infusion seminar.
Ms. Smith helped implement district-wide white paper recycling in the late 1980's and worked on a student/faculty/administrator district committee to establish an environmental policy for CCSF. She worked with Joy Durighello to plant oak trees on a northern slope of CCSF's campus. Other activities include being an S.F. Schools Volunteer and Community Organizer.
She is also a published fiction writer, whose works include: "Someone in the Neighborhood," Ms. Magazine, Aug 1986; "Prima Donna", Other Voices, vol. 2, #6/7, F'87; "At Birth", Fiction, vol. 9, #3, F'90; "Collect Calls", Fiction, vol. 11, #1, S'92; "Our Last Flight", Painted Hills, #4, F '91; "On the Alameda", Seventeen, September '92; "Born Again", Painted Hills, #5, W '92; "Imposters", Painted Hills, #9, S'93; "Devil's Slide", Sequoia, vol. 34/35, F'93; "Safe", Bamboo Ridge, #69, S'96; and "Dryspell," Bamboo Ridge, #73, S '98.
