Good list of formal practices for classroom discussion which can get students more organized and more broadly participating in class. I was particularly taken with the URL for this page, which calls them "speaking-listening techniques".

Some interesting ideas for first day of class activities here. I was particularly taken by the "syllabus scavenger hunt" in which students are asked to list their big questions about the course and find the answers in the syllabus (or start a conversation about why they aren't there).

Good advice for advisees, colleagues, and ourselves. We talk about resilience as the process of stopping, assessing, and making a new plan - but remember that the first step really is stopping long enough to rest.

As we prepare to welcome new colleagues and students, remember that even the simple gesture of showing that you're working hard to learn a person's preferred name makes a big difference.

"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.

I hear a lot of concern about our students being "fragile", and there's a lot of good effort put into helping them learn to "cope." But what are the things which we could change - in our classrooms, in our campus culture - to promote good mental health?
