@AlSolano @edutooters @academicchatter Also definitely follow hashtags! #Education #EducationalDevelopment #HigherEducation are all really useful.
Worth thinking about #MyFest23 if you are in #EducationalDevelopment, #AcademicDevelopment or any kind of #teaching role (or are just interested!). There is so much there to learn from (including for #EmergentStrategy fans!).

Really excited that the Mid-Year Festival, organized by folks from Equity Unbound and others helping out too, is back for 2023! I found last year's event incredibly impactful in terms of learning, connecting with others, rejuvenating, and playing! Starts next week and runs throughout June, July, and August. Website still being built out, but you can see many sessions and register now! https://myfest.equityunbound.org/ #MYFest23

When did US News start slipping like this?

So US News ranks Florida as #1 in education.

But as they say: test scores are mediocre and "nearly half" of high school graduates are college ready, SAT-wise.

How low is the bar, then? Less than half of students "are college ready" and that makes the state number 1?

FLORIDA is the best public education has to offer in America right now? Seriously?

I have found that fewer students are completing #studentcourseevaluations #SETs (which are awfully flawed + not very helpful). A few years ago I started sending out my own surveys via Google Forms (template you can copy at the link!) to ask students questions that help me prepare for the next semester & make real improvements to my #coursedesign and #coursedelivery https://higheredpraxis.substack.com/p/tip-better-student-evaluations

Tip: Better Student Evaluations

Throw out the flawed institutional student evaluation process in favor of surveys that ask students what you really want to know.
