Dear colleges of higher education,
I am BEGGING you to have Ed. D.'s that don't have the word 'leadership' in them.
I want to be a better teacher...not get out of the classroom.
Sincerely,
Classroom teachers everywhere
I'm sitting in my office on campus, and I just heard someone driving around the parking garage absolutely BLARING Eye of the Tiger. We take our title of Homecoming Originators seriously around here. #MizzouMade
๐ Congratulations to Kim Nuetzmann who was selected as the Staff Advisory Council's Service Champion for August!
The Service Champion Award is given to individual employees who go above and beyond their daily duties with a work ethic that makes them stand out.
It has been such a great start to the semester. Our students are the best, and this job is still a dream that I canโt believe Iโm lucky enough to live. Hereโs to doing the good, necessary work this year.
The interesting stuff here is buried past the predictable literacy crisis handwringing and โkids these daysโ arguments that make up the bulk of the piece.

@dowellml Interesting! I should really revisit through the lens of AI. Perhaps she can help bolster my (repeated and repeated) line highlighting how a focus on disciplinary discourse communities can reveal ChatGPT limitations in WI classes.
@cohenss We talked about this in a meeting on Tuesday with folks in the know, and it wasnโt clear then that it had the votes to pass. The hint of optimism makes the outcome even more devastating.
In this, my 17th year of teaching and my 9th year of teaching undergraduate pre-service education courses, I have finally created stations-based lessons. Itโs changed my teaching practice in so many amazing ways. Look at this meaning making re: real world literacies!
@heymrsbond I shared this thread with one of my BRILLIANT pre-service teachers whose ways of working and learning donโt fit into the reductive university system (she and I talked about something similar yesterday so this is timely!) Thank you for all that youโve taught me on this platform.
