I still need to learn to dive though, for when I'm one day living in a non-landlocked state. I suppose if I wait long enough, the ocean will come to me...

Man, I really really don't want to go back into academia though. I'm not about to get started on a phd in my late 20s while research funding, especially climate/ecology adjacent research keeps getting cut. (Not that I'm that great a situation where I am either in this regard!)

and in academia they teach you to be researchers, not teachers most people in academia don't get much, if any, training in teaching, and so the vast majority are just winging it

Ghost of Reagan Past posted:and in academia they teach you to be researchers, not teachers This is absolutely the case, and many times even in education training Pedagogy is an underserved discipline. It's hard to find good research on best practices, and often teachers are asked to basically figure it out as they go, especially your TAs and adjuncts at the University level. What I'm finding most effective is doing things that are a lot like social work. Teach kids that it's okay to be patient with themselves, to take time to practice and iterate and work, which is really made a lot harder when they're in an environment that's often rightfully seem as confusing, arbitrary, and judgemental. It really pains me to be asked to enforce some of the useless, "no talking in the halls" "discipline for discipline's sake" kinds of things. How do you teach critical thinking when the computer grading your district-assigned quiz thinks -(4/5) (-4/5) and (4/-5) are different responses? (obviously we manually correct that poo poo, but come on! stop undermining us, Google Classroom!) Octatonic fucked around with this message at 21:09 on Nov 22, 2016 |
