Today I'm (finally) launching my new blog, which I'm calling the Whole Professor Project. I've been working on the concept for almost a year and am excited to just get it out there in the universe. Just two posts, but more to come. :) wholeprofessorproject.net/
Sharing a piece published today in @insidehighered that highlights three questions that I've found useful to guide my summer writing practice as I look ahead to fall: how is it sustainable, portable, and adaptable?
Career Advice | 3 Ways to Improve Your Summer Writing Practice
Erin Marie Furtak has found that asking herself three questions has helped her transition not just out of the academic year but also back into the fall term. bit.ly/4ddc0Hn

Really appreciating the revision strategies I learned from @LaurenMarkham_'s workshop at @lighthousewrite LitFest last week. Using her strategies to take a chapter-by-chapter inventory of my book draft...onward!

When it comes to classroom assessment, we often take a simple lens, looking at individual learners on their own. But a single assessment task is only one part of a larger system, and best supporting learners requires a broader perspective. @furtak

Today's gift: While working at a coffeeshop this morning, bumped into an old HS classmate who told me he still remembers a satirical column I wrote for my HS newspaper about our hometown. He said, "you are a writer." So needed to hear that today. 💛

We're already 1/3 of the way through summer, so I'm asking myself - what makes it *feel like summer, before the next two months have passed by?

New blog post: Reflecting on the transition of graduation, this year in the pouring rain, and what it means to grapple with being 'done' with our work for the academic year (spoiler: we're never really 'done,' but we have to find a way to turn it off)

'Don't ever let injustice go by unchallenged.'
Just heard @NPR's remembrance of Harry Belafonte. Grew up listening to his music, learned of his activism when reading a bio of Miriam Makeba in junior high. #RestinPower #drivewaymoment
