So energizing to present on the Care in the Academy project yesterday w/ @cjdenial.bsky.social at #AACUGEPA
Watch this space for more on how #highered leaders and administrators can do the work of providing meaningful care to faculty and staff.
I started my opening thoughts on the panel with what a joy working in higher education can be, and this panel was pure joy from start to finish.
Grateful for your thought partnership @liznorell.bsky.social @thomasjtobin.bsky.social @onehe.bsky.social! #AACUGEPA
It was thrilling to be on a panel at #AACUGEPA with @sarosecav.bsky.social @thomasjtobin.bsky.social and @onehe.bsky.social to talk about effective pedagogy in 2024. The room was overflowing, as was the energy, and I hope we shared tangible things we can do to make #HigherEd better.

Huge #ThankYou to the #AACUGEPA crowd for supporting and adding to our conversation on "how to make brave gen-ed instructors" today.
@chriscreighton.bsky.social and I have cooked up a fun and provocative workshop on #LearningOutcomes for #AACUGEPA in two days. What if we gave students agency in co-creating learning goals?! 🤔 Let's co-create a better way, #HigherEd!
On my way to #AACUGEPA! See everyone there!
Going? Come to @liznorell.bsky.social and my session Fri. At 10:30am on Co-Creating Learning Outcomes as a Student-Centered Practice!
In addition, @cjdenial.bsky.social and I will be presenting some of the other findings from this project at the #AACUGEPA meeting on Friday afternoon!
