I love the confessions from closeted creative writers in my freshman comp classes that they write short stories, novels, etc. but that no one else knows about their writing. It's such a sacred secret. #writing #author #teaching #college

Having a documented disability doesn't get you the help you need: it gets you the help that abled people think you need.

[Anne Turner @_anne_turner]

Disabled students face gatekeeping even in college accomodation. Imagine asking for online lecture captions because of ADHD distractibility but you are asked for proof of an auditory processing disorder to get them. #highered #Disability #adhd #AcademicTwitter #universaldesign

[Composition Studies @CompStudiesJrnl]

How do we promote anti-racist writing assessment while grappling with the social, cultural, historical, and political ideas of “good writing”? Inoue and Poe's infographic, "How to Stop Harming Students," will help you mull over these questions. Check here: https://t.co/LMB4ijq1Kj

Watching #CNM "State of the College" today and I couldn't be more proud of how Tracy Hartzler and all of our administration have handled the pandemic. @CNMsuncats

Online Teaching Strategy #3: Preparation and Time Management @DrNurseClarke #CNMCTL2021

[Anne Turner @_anne_turner]

Schedule your course prep before the semester starts. Schedule your grading time and email time.

[Anne Turner @_anne_turner]

Introduction activity for students: ask preferred learning style

[Anne Turner @_anne_turner]

Online Teaching Strategy 2: Extreme Organization with @DrNurseClarke #CNMCTL2021

[Anne Turner @_anne_turner]

Welcome module: course information, required materials, introduction video, contact info. Students can refer to this module and it builds connection.

[Anne Turner @_anne_turner]

Students walk into classes and put everything in front of students on one page. Don't overwhelm your students. Have a Welcome module and organized Learning Modules

[Anne Turner @_anne_turner]

Create a Q&A discussion board in your course. Other students can see answers to their own questions. Students can also help out classmates.

Online Teaching Strategy 1: Communication @DrNurseClarke #CNMCTL2021

[Anne Turner @_anne_turner]

Communicate with your students before the semester starts. Send a welcome message.

[Anne Turner @_anne_turner]

"It takes time to build a relationship with your students"

[Anne Turner @_anne_turner]

Have regular communication. You can still be spontaneous, but you need to build regularity.
