What is your fave book club book related to teaching math in higher education?

“Sometimes, I imagine teachers are trees… …To all my friends in the forest, I am honored to grow among you.” #TeacherAppreciateWeek

We know that #working-memory overload is TERRIBLE for students. We don't often focus on this fact: it's just as bad for teachers. I've got some thoughts about the problem, and some solutions: ow.ly/8cjZ50R607j and ow.ly/u0uF50R607k

Love this, esp for new faculty, from @SChewPsych: "There are a myriad of answers...these causes miss the fundamental reason why teaching is hard: we simply don’t know the exact circumstances in which learning takes place." | teachingprofessor.com/topics/student…

Pulling some articles just now about this approach, with a specific interest in the claim that it promotes equity. I think it's the opposite. Thoughts?

"...although we are on a shared journey, it is not the students’ classroom. It is mine. I bear the responsibility for what happens in the course."

@Catlin_Tucker Perhaps students turn to [the current scary new tech thing] during independent practice bc they are seeking an 'expert in the front of the room' for whatever reason (comfort, low self-efficacy, routine).

🚫 Worried about your students using ChatGPT to cheat in secondary & post-secondary schools? Watch as I address this concern! 👀👇🏻 #EdChat #UDL #EduTwitter #AIinEducation #BlendChat

Was meaning to blog this but was getting distracted so a rare🧵: I see 100s of lessons and teachers and it’s clear to me the best teaching appears fluid and artful but is always built on sound techniques deployed with purpose; intentionality; precision.. /n

You've heard of Rosenshine's principles of instruction. You wonder if there is any *research* behind these ideas. @inner_drive has an answer: YUP! Check out this blog post for their thoughtful exploration. ow.ly/Q1xv50Q6Hrj

@Bali_Maha Mine ALWAYS comes out "Chat GDP", probably because my first content area was high school social sciences.

One of the incredible curiosities/mysteries of 2023 is why on earth so many people simply cannot say ChatGPT correctly, even when they are giving a session on it and can see the spelling? Is there a linguistic explanation?

Thinking about this in terms of @TheTattooedProf 's article in @chronicle on 'return to rigor'. Most 'sand' things are done in the name of rigor, expecting Ss to do so much of the work of learning or irrespective of S's as humans.

'...there is a fundamental misalignment between what we as instructors say we’re doing with “rigor” and what our students are actually experiencing in courses identified as “rigorous.”'

Depending on whether you value homework or not, you could interpret this study in two ways: 1. Answers on homework are easily retrieved online, so it's pointless. 2. The students who do homework on their own tend to learn, and the ones who cheat, don't. researchgate.net/publication/34…

Excited to share our new review paper with @LimeriLisa in Compass! We encourage an anti-deficit approach to mindset beliefs that shifts the focus away from the individual and towards the institutional, societal, and cultural context that they navigate. compass.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

Considering using an AI Text Detector tool (e.g., Turnitin, GPTZero, ZeroGPT) to identify instances of plagiarism? Review these slides first! docs.google.com/presentation/d… #edtech #highered #chatgpt #aiineducation #edchat

"Trust in the teacher is critical for students to embrace the added challenge of these learning experiences."

The best sessions at the @hlcommission annual conference is always office hours with liaisons, hands down. Good chance to contextualize and digest the day, and it humanizes the process so much. #HLC2023

Listening to @BBurnsEDU at #HLC2023 share that for the first time, low income students are now a majority at US public k-12 schools. For all of us in #HigherEd, we need to do more to support these students and have them not only succeed, but also thrive.
