Hi all. Here’s a bit of an introduction to who I am.

I’m an English professor teaching and advising students pursuing degrees in secondary English Education. I taught English for grades 8-12 for six years before making the jump to higher ed. I’ve been in this position for four years.

Anxiety has been extra bad lately. Going to take a bit of a break from socials. If I owe you a message, I will get to it eventually.

Be well.

Yes it's Thanksgiving for us here in The US, but don't forget your history that people are always trying to erase. The thousands of Indigenous folks who died, and were raised on this land. Who fought for a better life before colonialism.

If you're shopping for Christmas, remember the impact staying local can have. For the first half of this year, our Main Street communities reported $21.2 million in investments, resulting in over 1,200 new jobs and 41 new businesses. Let's build on that progress. 1/2

Reminder, fatphobia is never okay. Physical appearance does not relate to, I don’t know, one’s ability to lead a country. Using their own misogynistic, fascist, and fatphobic hateful rhetoric does nothing other than prove you are also fatphobic. It doesn’t become less so because the person is evil.

Make sure your first time contacting a guardian is a positive one.

Send snail mail—card, post card, etc. the time it takes to write and mail one shows the guardian and student just how important it was/ for you to acknowledge them. I’ve seen students carrying these cards around—they mean a lot.
What are your tips for communicating with families? ✉️
