Low attendance is understandable as we continue to recover from a global disaster while simultaneously experiencing repeated impacts/surges.
We have to design/adapt for this reality. Not for the fantasy of “back to normal.”

Faculty, staff, and students should not be left in the wind like this to wonder why this is happening. It’s infuriating tbh, and #HigherEd continues to be its own worst enemy.
We have to prioritize well-being and talk about trauma.

I'm doing some research this morning on long-term collective traumas...
So many people are saying to me that they feel like they're at a breaking point, along with everyone around them. That they feel worse, not better. I thought this @insidehighered piece captured this really well (thank you students).

@insidehighered This idea that while we're managing individual crises, that everyone around us seems to be too. The whole of this is greater than the sum of its parts. What do we know about collective traumas that can guide us through this?

"But now it’s just expected and understood: everyone is just one minor event away from snapping. COVID scares can trigger existential crises and then ripple effects. Why ask each other “How are you?” when nothing has changed in almost two years?"

Point of clarification: Formal learning in a classroom? The human brain is always learning, whether at college or not.

What is everyone planning in their courses for election week? How will we take care of ourselves, each other, and our learners? Let's brainstorm and crowdsource ideas?

I'll share my two cents from the standpoint of #traumaaware teaching, diminished executive functions, and severe stress/overwhelm...
Reduce uncertainty. Create a simple plan for election week, and start gently communicating it as soon as you can. Let students know what they can expect.

Let's start here, with particular attention to principle 5: choice, empowerment, and voice.

I'm also going to weave this in. Remember, we are educators, not counselors. Boundaries are a really important part of this work, for ourselves and our learners.

Being a trauma-aware educator means recognizing that trauma is in our classrooms. It's in our students and in us. It was there before COVID, it's here now, and it will be here in the future.

I want to say a quick thing about pre-course surveys from a #traumaaware perspective. I think they are a great way to connect. AND. Please do not phrase them in such a way that students will feel required to share their stories and trauma with you...

I think it's okay to say "Is there anything that you'd like me to know so that I can best support you in this class?"
I don't think it's okay to say, "Tell me what challenges you are facing this term."
See the difference?

You can also add a note that the survey is optional. In short, it's critical to make this a choice not a requirement. As @AlexSVenet says, we are not the trauma detectives.

Here's a sample of what we spoke about at #adisorder4everyone in Cumbria:
1. @medsconsult and @recover2renew read 'Cracked' by James Davies (now @CEP_UK ) when published 2013
