Finding meaning in our work - 0 views

  •  
    Good discussion on this podcast of the issues of passion, meaning, and work-life balance for faculty. Also, I think, an interesting model for talking to students about our work, and our work histories.

Examining the Why Behind Your Late or Missed Work Policies - 0 views

  •  
    A little late for the advice about phrasing policies on the syllabus, but since the conversation about late work happens all semester, there might be some useful tips for how to talk about deadlines as they approach.

Teachers resilience: A necessary condition for effectiveness - 2 views

  •  
    The idea that resilience is a socially situated behavior, not a just personal quality, seems important, as does turning this lens (which we so often use on our students) on our own lives and work as educators.

Workload Estimator 2.0 - 0 views

    This estimator provides a useful check of how much work your class asks of students. It might be a good tool to give your students directly, as a planning tool for getting all their commitments met.

Thriving in Academia - 0 views

  •  
    Podcast discussion of a new book which addresses some of the differences between work at research institutions and teaching-focused institutions. The synopsis highlights new faculty, but about halfway into the podcast they also start discussing mid-career (and even late-career) choices too.

    How can the CIP help protect time for "quiet conversation and stillness of mind" without adding yet another darn thing to the calendar of events? (The success of this year's writing groups suggests one way...)

The Sad, Beautiful Fact That We're All Going To Miss Almost Everything - 0 views

  •  
    It seems like everyone I talk to has well more than 3 months' worth of "summer projects." We talk about our overstuffed schedules. We even complain about depth vs. breadth and "coverage" in our courses and majors. Maybe the summer's not a bad time to consider a little productive surrender.

Do You Assign Enough Reading? Or Too Much? - 0 views

  •  
    "Faced with the question - How much reading should we assign? - I think most instructors would agree that the best answer is: "It depends."" One way to break the tyranny of "coverage" is to deeply consider your goals for how students will make meaning with the reading you assign.

Summertime and the Learning is Easy - 0 views

  •  
    Might be some interesting questions for advisees or majors (or colleagues or yourself) in this podcast. What did you reflect on this summer? In between courses, can you see how they relate?

College libraries install desks on which students can study and cycle - 1 views

  •  
    The next step after the standing desk, perhaps? (Certainly I'd have a better chance keeping a desk that small clean...)
