16:11:04 From Vitaly Ganusov : Please share this rubric for reflective learning if possible. 16:14:26 From Vitaly Ganusov : I feel that it is important to understand why students want but I don’t think it is always what students want has to be done. Sometimes they may not know what they want (I think Steve Jobs said that about consumers). 16:15:56 From Molly Phillips (she/her) : menti.com 16:16:04 From Molly Phillips (she/her) : 584663 16:16:55 From Adania Flemming : yes please 16:18:12 From Vitaly Ganusov : This is may be a biased group of extraverts 16:18:59 From Vitaly Ganusov : Extraverts prefer “interactions, etc”. Some people may be introverts. 16:32:56 From Spencer Bagley : Students and teachers are collaborators, not adversaries. 16:33:12 From Caroline DeVan (she/her) : do you share these principles with your students directly? 16:34:02 From Adania Flemming : on that same vein the aspect of students having agency. 16:34:11 From Clarissa Sawyer (she/her) : Help students to discover the relevance of the course topic to their own lives. 16:34:28 From Vitaly Ganusov : I don’t think I know what my guiding principles are. One has to sit down and think. 16:35:00 From gerardo : be transparent & forthcoming with every you teach.. always explain the why you are doing something... another thing is maintaining intellectual integrity... so many profs are dumbing down material to be 'more inclusive' 16:36:22 From Adania Flemming : can I say something 16:37:42 From Clarissa Sawyer (she/her) : Adania - thank you for building on what I said - YES! 16:38:23 From Clarissa Sawyer (she/her) : Gerardo, could you give an example of dumbing down material to be more inclusive??? 16:38:40 From Vitaly Ganusov : Is the principle “show me the data” a guiding principle in teaching? The idea is that we should be making arguments with data, and not just statements. Not sure it is inclusive, though, because it may exclude many of people who make statements without data 16:40:24 From Clarissa Sawyer (she/her) : Vitaly, depending on how data is defined. For me student perspectives and opinions are data, too. Though it is also important to define what is meant by evidence, proof, facts versus interpretation. 16:41:04 From Christy Clay (she/her/hers) : I agree, Clarissa. 16:43:52 From Spencer Bagley : Or, to discuss, rather than unilaterally define! 16:43:55 From Vitaly Ganusov : I guess the point is when we teach particular subject (e.g., cell) one approach is to say “ cell does this or that”. How do we know? Show me the data showing this? That’s what I meant. 16:44:04 From Clarissa Sawyer (she/her) : I LOVE these assignments! 16:47:08 From Adania Flemming : very powerful email. 16:47:24 From Christy Clay (she/her/hers) : We can only hope that all of our students feel safe enough to share such feedback. 16:47:37 From Jonas D'Andrea (he/him) : yes, thank you for sharing this from student Tim. 16:47:40 From Clarissa Sawyer (she/her) : Vitaly, got it! I teach the history of psychology, so part of what we look at is how the subject of inquiry changes over time, how methods used to investigate change, how theories explaining a phenomenon change. 16:47:49 From Spencer Bagley : Good point Christy. What do we do to create the environment in which all of our students feel so safe? 16:48:05 From gerardo : many weaker students at my university complain about volume of work that each prof demands & indicate that they are being left behind .. thus, many profs relent & reduce volume of material &/or provide avenues for weaker students to prop up marks (e.g., extra assignments not available to all students). This happens over time - so that what one teaches today is about 50% (in terms of material quantity &/or depth) of what one would have taught 5 years ago.. My fear is that we're reducing many of the more challenging components in courses that would help push stronger students & are catering to the lowest common denominator 16:48:30 From Spencer Bagley : Gerardo, what does "weaker" mean to you? 16:49:17 From Christy Clay (she/her/hers) : Classroom advocate is a brilliant idea! 16:50:31 From Clarissa Sawyer (she/her) : Gerardo, this is definitely a topic of discussion now. At the same time, student backgrounds are more diverse than in the past - more diagnosed learning disabilities and mental health issues, more diverse culturally and socio-economic backgrounds also. 16:51:30 From Christy Clay (she/her/hers) : I think it’s worth adding that a more diverse or inclusive classroom does not equate to having more “weak” students. 16:51:51 From Adania Flemming : that is very interesting and a good way to build community 16:51:57 From Carrie Diaz Eaton : I think that there are ways to allow students to fully participate that aren't "doing less" or "easier." Sometimes it is streamlining expectations, or other kids of ways about changing practice that just allows someone to bring their full potential to the class. 16:52:21 From Carrie Diaz Eaton : *other ways of changing practice 16:55:23 From Clarissa Sawyer (she/her) : Beautiful metaphors! 16:55:29 From Carrie Diaz Eaton : <3 agreed 16:55:35 From Vitaly Ganusov : What about classes with 200+ students? 16:55:52 From Caroline DeVan (she/her) : do you have a process for reflection that you use? Thanks for a great talk. 16:59:02 From cao37792 : A different way of looking at teaching! Truth is -I teach hard sciences and we are always out of time! But I can see how we can incorporate some of these principles 16:59:35 From Lori Driscoll (she/her/hers) : Mays, thank you for sharing your reflections with us! This was very helpful. 16:59:49 From cao37792 : Thank you! 17:00:17 From Clarissa Sawyer (she/her) : RE: classes with many students or teaching multiple courses with many students, a challenge for me is how to reduce the time needed to grade assessments. I'm experimenting with interteaching, peer review. I'm intrigued to learn about ungrading??? 17:00:51 From Adania Flemming : thank you 17:01:02 From Caroline DeVan (she/her) : yes yours, thanks 17:01:51 From Jonas D'Andrea (he/him) : Thank you so much! 17:01:54 From Molly Phillips (she/her) : survey: https://bit.ly/3hNfkfL 17:02:05 From Quinetta Shelby : Thanks! 17:02:10 From Linda Hyde : Thank you. 17:02:12 From Carrie Diaz Eaton : Ohh - yes - I had a great brownbag lunch group I used to share teaching ideas and reflections with 17:02:16 From Carrie Diaz Eaton : I recommend the same! 17:02:29 From Carrie Diaz Eaton : Thank you!!!! 17:02:41 From Clarissa Sawyer (she/her) : terrific! Thanks! 17:02:52 From Vitaly Ganusov : This was very useful, thank you very much!
