@srblassiter @STEMECNCAT @MrsGH4 @Mrs_SamMassey @BioWall @MsKingAPES @louis_stemec @McKnightMath @OffhausTarnae @JamisaW14 @HNCounselsSTEM @Quesited_88 #tothefuture I think about each person. I wonder how individual stories come together.

[Matt Vaughn @VaughnTeach]

@MrMuziq23 @srblassiter I don’t disagree. But I have to my role in the perception.

[Matt Vaughn @VaughnTeach]

@srblassiter 1) I don’t want to burden others 2) my intense desire to know/do everything 3) did I mention myself yet...so the buck stops here. There’s a lot more to my habits but now that I am aware any lack of communication is on me primarily.

[Matt Vaughn @VaughnTeach]

@srblassiter Ha! Love that. Life is in the living. I would like to see us honor experience that builds knowledge rather than isolated knowledge where it isn’t useful.

[Matt Vaughn @VaughnTeach]

@srblassiter @Mrs_SamMassey I think it does have a single story. It’s obvious and implies weakness.

[Matt Vaughn @VaughnTeach]

@MrsGH4 @srblassiter I respect your prep. Teacher ninja.

[Matt Vaughn @VaughnTeach]

@MrMuziq23 @srblassiter It’s contextual so gender and race might be factors in some situations. But I own this issue fully. I carry myself as one who needs no help. Pride goeth before a fall.

@srblassiter A5: I try to protect the possibilities of my students while requiring disciplined thinking. I spend a lot of energy being available to my students. I don’t always get it right but I am always genuine in the effort. #SCultramoderninnovation

@JamisaW14 @MsKingAPES @HNCounselsSTEM @srblassiter It’s a social norm now. We have slowly chipped away at alternative options to college and consolidated “valuable” knowledge in very few institutions.

[Matt Vaughn @VaughnTeach]

@srblassiter A4: it’s a message many students internalize. They are often surprised that I don’t accept smart as a precondition for judging the quality of their thinking. #SCultramoderninnovation

[Matt Vaughn @VaughnTeach]

@JamisaW14 @BioWall @srblassiter The broadest answer is that external perceptions of our job don’t account for humanity, all our nuances. And there’s also some protectionism inside our profession.

[Matt Vaughn @VaughnTeach]

@srblassiter A3: Early College = “smart kids”, as if we all have the same definition of smart. #SCultramoderninnovation

[Matt Vaughn @VaughnTeach]

@srblassiter I’m consistent, solid, don’t struggle. #SCultramoderninnovation

[Matt Vaughn @VaughnTeach]

@JamisaW14 @Mrs_SamMassey @Quesited_88 I’m here... we’ll of course I am now but I’m pretty much always here in non pandemic times. We’ll do it.

[Matt Vaughn @VaughnTeach]

@JamisaW14 @Quesited_88 Thankfully we get to build on solid foundations in the current situation. Intentionality is a two way street. Captive audiences are no longer a default mechanism for relationships. Such are the challenges of digital contexts.

[Matt Vaughn @VaughnTeach]

@Mrs_SamMassey @MsKingAPES @Quesited_88 I always say awkward is the spice of life.

[Matt Vaughn @VaughnTeach]

@Quesited_88 #SCUltramoderninnovation Being responsive and saying “just try and we’ll figure it out together from there.”
