Starting NOW #OLCAccelerate

#Neuromyths
Learning styles is the #1 neuromyth.

#HigherEd
Well, the good news is there's plenty of work here to keep us busy?

#highered #neuromyths #learningstyles Image
My feeling is that we've got to give faculty accessible models with practical tools that they can start using immediately in their classrooms. We can't just tell people not to believe in neuromyths. We have to make the learning sciences more accessible.
👆follow @BrianCDelaney and @MDMillerPHD for your neuromyth content

(and Kristen Betts but I don't think she's #onhere)

okay something's been bugging me...a #FacDev thread...
I would argue that #FacDev is a huge area of opportunity in #HigherEd (or we could say it's completely broken-you choose).
This is data from the first #OLCAccelerate session I attended yesterday from the neuromyths study that @BrianCDelaney, @MDMillerPHD, & Kristen Betts shared. Obviously there are concerns across the board here, but I work with faculty.

Let's do a thing. Should we do a thing? Let's promote women+ who've written books about #HigherEd, shall we? I'm going to pull from the #HigherEd reads list we started in January.

Using Amazon for sanity: please consider your independent bookstores if purchasing.
Before I get to books, let me take a moment to direct you to @womeninhighered, led by @kelly_j_baker. What would we do without this feminist #HigherEd publication? I hope we never have to find out.

Friends: I'm at a professional conference this week. Hearing a report that when presenters use breakout rooms, people are leaving sessions en masse.

Shall we discuss?

#HigherEd
#HowToZoom
#AcademicChatter
So y'all have feelings about breakout rooms I see. Here are some of my key takeaways from this conversation:
#1 Perhaps we should build community and connection before sending people into breakouts. Sending people into a small room with strangers is awkward-sauce.

This is worth taking a look at. Some very concerning findings about #MentalHealth impacts of COVID.

boston.com/news/coronavir…
Rates of suicidal ideation rose from a baseline of 3.4% in 2014 to 36.9% in October.

Historical norms for major depression were 7.7% pre-COVID, and rose to 27% during COVID.

Treatment: samhsa.gov/find-treatment
I'm mad about this, #HigherEd. I really am. We haven't named or faced this challenge. We have thrown faculty onto the front lines of what could be the worst mental health crisis of our lifetimes. Our counseling teams were woefully underfunded before this...

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?

#HigherEd
#AcademicChatter
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.

wow is there a lot going on here

I just can't anymore, and I know a lot of you can't either. I am so done with these elite pockets of #HigherEd ignoring the work that the vast majority of us are doing every day.
"And some people would argue that those various services, as necessary and well intended as they might be, have a significant downside..."
