JUST IN: Today the US Dept. of Education issued an RFI for feedback on how to improve its #HigherEd Accreditation Handbook. It will officially be published 12/11/25 but is already available here in the meantime: www.ed.gov/about/news/p... #ProfChat #TellEWA #EdChat #AcademicChatter #ScholarSunday #I
Who else now teaches an undergraduate course at the school where they’re getting their PhD? I love teaching this course! I’m wondering though, how often this happens where current PhD students become adjunct? www.tiktok.com/t/ZTYN3m69F/

A6: set good etiquette expectations, work on goal setting and a #growthmindset #profchat
Yup, and giving new faculty support. Love working with them this year. For me, them, and the community @jshamsy #profchat
The new faculty have the high demands that have eroded in me. It's good to be reminded. @jshamsy @mssackstein #profchat
Math problem MT @EricDrown: #profchat Ss only have between 36-48 contact hours with profs, not the 180+ they have with HS teachers.
Agreed. And they believe it more when it comes from the other disciplines @rondurso @EricDrown @jshamsy @KmSmmns @mssackstein #profchat
Q1: eager, impatient, great to work with 1-1, struggle with intrinsic motivation, study skills, and emotional capacity. #profchat

#profchat I must be out of the loop if I had not known that Google introduced an LMS!

I know we strive to believe self-affirmation is enough, but it is sure nice when you get it from your peers and higher-ups. #profchat
@dinamoati @katemath @krisshaffer no way - there was some article about hand gestures increasing learning www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2013/03/1303291... #profchat
@drbillsoesbe @GolnazG I call this evolution in changing environment, looking for optimum, knowing it will never stay in one place #profchat
@katemath @krisshaffer @dinamoati had to do this as part of our 2 hr GTA training. Apparently I like to put my hands in my pockets #profchat
@katemath agreed #profchat who needs generic when we want awesomeness :)
sorry i had to cut out late in last 5 min. toddler emergency you know. glad i could lurk and share a bit! #profchat
I picked the brain of another new faculty member and she said seminars often address things too late. need info upfront and fast #profchat
@foxc4t to get the basics, I'd say cliff notes. but try discovering algebra for a good text with discovery based learning. #profchat
I created the GTA training program now at my PhD U. Now I want to do some kind of support program here for new faculty. feedback? #profchat
I usually check within institution first though. "college algebra" or "precalculus" comes up with way too many hits #profchat
I have all my syllabii online, though starting to get annoying posting there and on LMS #profchat
A5: current institution offers some workshop time, but lately has been usurped by accreditation to-do list. #profchat
Last time I taught? I pre-sketched a lesson, then put it together jus before class from student responses received previous day. #profchat
A3: my own training was good. And i was way ahead of other new GTAs that didn't have an MA already. Not true for all #profchat
Q3: yes, need for more training in higher ed - at research 1, not enough emphasis on teaching, but it is a part of most jobs #profchat
Sorry, catching up: A1: Yes, since I was very little. I occasionally changed my mind, I always went back to teaching math. #profchat
you learn more of what you teach, right? Also prof society @maanow really beneficial when it comes to teaching PD in math. #profchat
A2 cont. Then self-taught more as I started "training" other GTAs as an "experienced" GTA. #profchat
