Just a reminder of this "classic" from the Grading for Growth folks. I share it when an alternative grading approach seems like quite a jump. It shares the 4 pillars to alt. grading & suggests that there are both big and small ways to work towards them.

We've seen the differences. Now what are the similarities?

Because it feels good to share professional successes. last month, the Journal on Centers for Teaching & Learning published our article on the value of diverse types of teaching programming for faculty. Delighted to keep working with folks at @wfucat!.

I wanted to find something in @JPSE_Editors or @ps_polisci on how we think about teaching, but no luck so far. I work in a teaching center, so I'm looking for a more positive spin. Thank you! :-).

Hi #poliscitwitter , would you mind sharing a sentence or two about how you think about the teaching parts of your faculty role? Context: I'm giving a talk to new PS PhD students on the role of teaching in a faculty career.

Weird, kinda neurotic professional pet peeve: when folks doing surveys at a university promise students/faculty "anonymity" when they mean confidentiality. Come on, B. It's not like we're asking about deviant or illegal behaviors. Let it go. (I can't!) (You can!) (I won't!).

Your center would need someone able to write code and someone to keep up with debugging (it presently needs debugging. My dear friend from grad school developed it and I'm happy to connect you.

I learned about the Marshmallow test in undergrad & casually referenced it in my adult life, saying things like, "I wish I were a two marshmallow kid." I had never thought about how a child with food insecurity might actually be facing a different choice.

Affluence—not willpower—seems to be what’s behind some kids’ capacity to delay gratification.

GenAI gems: when I asked for another revision to an email that was a little less formal, I got ""Hope this finds you well and that you're surfing the semester wave with style!".

My internal monologue just now: "Oh! It's Friday. That means I can sign this email with "have a great weekend!" and not hem-and-haw over closing options. What a relief!" 🥴😳.

Inspired by @vijisathy & @DrMrsKellyHogan's .workshop for @UMich_CRLT & @SEISMIC_project, I used #PollEverywhere at an event today for quiet folks to share questions/thoughts. It went great. A bonus: folks who finished solo activities early could add & engage with the question.

Speaking of great #pedagogy resources: I love these slides by @derekbruff. They're not just about classroom polling. They're generative when you're thinking about MC questions for higher order thinking AND potential designs for group activities. #eddev

I've recognized for a while that I point instructors to How Learning Works (@MarshaLovett et al) more than any other book. FWIW, Interactive Lecturing by @ClaireHMajor & Barkley is a close second. It's usefulness extends beyond the titular subject. #highered #facdev #pedagogy.

Where are the data visualizations for folks who have competed and were successful in the #gbbo??? I have all these theories about predictors of success, but no way to investigate them! #DataScience #dataviz #rstats.

Dear #eddev / #facdev that provide midterm student feedback sessions as a service, . Do you have a full class debrief after the small group component? What do you see as the function or purpose of that full class stage? #HigherEducation @podnetwork.
