@deandad Thanks for so many blog posts that made me think and good luck on your new job (and in your new location)!

[Dr Jen Staben @docjen13]

@DavidBegnaud @CBSMornings Thanks for a lovely and powerful story. I definitely have something in my eye. Must be dust!

[Dr Jen Staben @docjen13]

@saragoldrickrab Proud and honored to teach composition at @CLCIllinois for the last 20+ years (and coach more than 20 cohorts of peer writing tutors)

[Dr Jen Staben @docjen13]

@TeganG_ @WausauFire It cracks me up every time.

[Dr Jen Staben @docjen13]

@TeganG_ @WausauFire Sam says I hear it too!

[Dr Jen Staben @docjen13]

@elizabethboquet @RockNRoLL_85 Richard Thompson, Eric Bachman, and Ani DiFranco (my top 3 personal favorites)

[Dr Jen Staben @docjen13]

@elizabethboquet Yep. That is my day too.

[Dr Jen Staben @docjen13]

@HancockNiki Congratulations!

[Dr Jen Staben @docjen13]

@elizabethboquet Lifeguard at age 15 so yeah . . . a lot.

[Dr Jen Staben @docjen13]

This is good news. Fingers crossed. https://t.co/5bHZfeblU7

[Dr Jen Staben @docjen13]

This 😊

[Dr Jen Staben @docjen13]

@danmartin_7 So true. I see this in my classes and in the writing center as well. So much damage to undo!

[Dr Jen Staben @docjen13]

This article by @deandad raises interesting questions that are complicated by the fact that students at @CLCIllinois are not just mixing online and in person modalities but also 16-week, 8-week, and 5-week modalities (and not always to their benefit). https://t.co/tMBFJ6PpBx

[Dr Jen Staben @docjen13]

I want to explicitly state/focus on these going forward!

[Dan Martin @danmartin_7]

I've updated my fyc outcomes:

1. Develop confidence in yourself as a writer.
2. Develop a healthier mindset toward writing.

I think these are connected.

Those are some of my favorite class sessions! #worknight

[Quijano @QuijanoPhD]

I don't know who needs to hear this but students, specially in 1st and 2nd year writing-intensive courses, benefit IMMENSELY from those "awkward" (for the instructor) class sessions where they get a whole period to workshop & edit their papers and instructors are just resources.

[Dr Jen Staben @docjen13]

This!!!

[Dr Jen Staben @docjen13]

@elizabethboquet Need to go to Puerto Rico for that!
