Great comment from Debie Lohe: We need to call out relational leadership as good leadership. That kind of leadership isn't always valued as much as it should be.

Some real talk in this session on supporting big projects around pedagogical innovation with Donna Ellis & Kyle Scholz from U. Waterloo. Lots of these projects are organized rather poorly.

Just finalized my FA syllabus, and for the 2nd semester in a row, I'm citing folks who inspired language, course designs, etc. in the syllabus. I'm trying to model the scholarly practice of attribution, & it's fun to think about all the folks who have inspired my thinking about a particular course.
