Where are the human stories that we'll all bring to the classroom?
Students and the shorts-wearing prof might be labeled with:
1. Lost a parent to COVID
2. Unemployed for 6 months
3. Assaulted at peaceful protest
4. Racial battle fatigue
5. Fighting daily panic attacks

I've been defining pedagogy as "our teaching choices," all of which are operate in a context. Too many of the fall plans ignore that context.

The CVS medication error story came to mind as I was chewing on all of this. We are not robots, and even robots optimal functioning is disrupted in extreme circumstances.

We have a solid list of evidence-based teaching practices that work consistently for faculty and students, but those teaching practices don't happen in a vacuum. Institutional support and fundamental physical/mental safety must be in place to support great teaching and learning.

I'm seeing a lot of the social distancing scenario images and ideas for incorporating evidence-based practices into those classrooms, but I guess what I'm saying is, that's like telling those CVS pharmacists to "buck up and concentrate better."

This is the #MissouriModel, a developmental framework for #traumainformed approaches. Much of #highered isn't even at level one, which was problematic before, and even more so now.
