Having a relationship first with your students means that when you give them feedback, they receive it from a place of trust and not harm. Y’all I got receipts to prove it.

The way students receive information (reels, posts, shorts, etc) is really impacting their ability to engage in academic discourse. How can we increase the noise in our classrooms? I am struggling. With all of the craziness happening I NEED my students to think critically about wht they r taking in.

I will never normalize holding college students accountable like adults, but making big decisions for them as they were kids. Choose one, people🤷🏽‍♀️ #professorchronicles

Not sure who needs to hear this but a resume is not a curriculum vitae😩 It would have so much easier if I continued to update my CV instead of resume over the 24 years I’ve been in education. My brain hurts y’all😩.

Writing from your experiences means that the lessons learned will never be outdated. Just got a message notifying me that ALL conference participants will receive a copy of my book, The Right Tools, in preparation for a virtual Q&A I’ll be doing! Let’s go!
