@dowellml I'd also wonder: are students able to change anything in their lives, courseloads, or approach over time? Is this a long-term constant, or does it shift?

@LindsayMasland What about Student-Oriented Instructional Feedback (SOIF), because so many instructors are thirsty for meaningful feedback?

Community colleges are not the 13th grade at all. They are institutions of higher education with high expectations and intensive supports, ensuring students can afford and engage in high-quality learning. If you think otherwise, come to @montgomerycoll so we can show you. 🤎🖤

@dowellml Had to look up CLEP. Definitely not. But they can write a challenge essay to be administered by the faculty.

@udc_library ^Despite of (because of?) its banning, this was a great #firebird first-year experience common read back in 2019.

@KWMathias It's a struggle. The 5-week summer FYC is especially tough.

@citizenstewart K-1 is a lot more fun than HS or college, but it also involves at least 10x the snot on tables, books, chairs, rugs, clothes. I really could not handle the volume of snot.

@bibliocathy I appreciate the shout-out to first-gen students. The research + writing nexus in first-year comp has the potential to become real discouraging real fast, especially if you're first-gen or returning

@bibliocathy Congrats!

“I am a slow reviser of my work, which means that in the time between writing the first draft of this essay and writing this particular sentence, there have been more mass shootings in America.”

@ssiperstein @dowellml I'm always puzzled when speakers do an icebreaker and then lecture for 45 minutes.

[Christian Aguiar @cpaguiar]

@bscwallace That's wonderful news. Congratulations!

If they apply by September 20, early childhood educators in licensed DC childcare facilities will get between $10,000-$14,000 if they work full time and $5,000-7,000 if they’re part time.

Well-deserved, permanent raises for DC’s early childhood educators!
