To me, the first step in enhancing teaching is getting clear on your values & context.
Don't ever change your pedagogy cause someone else did a thing and is raving about it.
Only change if the change is a better reflection of your values in a way that respects your context. 1/4

That context includes # of courses/preps, but many other things.
For ex, I teach 6 courses a year; 6 preps. BUT all of my scholarship and service is focused on teaching. This is an incredible privilege cause effort in 1 area pays off in others. Most don't have this privilege.2/4

I'm also a straight-passing White lady with tenure. My spouse takes on way more than 50% of the house/ family duties and has a super-flexible work arrangement.
These things make it easy for me to try all sorts of time-intensive things and to break all sorts of rules. 3/4

When I'm working w/ instructors on their courses, I rarely recommend the radical stuff I talk about #onhere. Because I recognize that my values/context aren't their values/context.
So if something #onhere *feels like you* and won't ruin your life, try it. And ignore the rest!
