I am feeling discouraged/upset about the current politically climate and this class makes me feel hopeful- it's pulling me through

It's brought me a deeper appreciation of what I need to do WITH my students to support their own developing goals. This has pushed me to think about the kinds of leading activities I prepare and implement in which I want to cultivate relationships with them. My students make me feel appreciated and important while also always challenging me to be better.

The field of environmental education (my specialization) is still deeply embedded in white supremacy. The ECO students and their questions help me to think about changing EE to work for everyone, especially those who need it most.

I received an email over the weekend from a former EDUC251 student - a straight, white, male - processing what's been happening in this country with our political processes. He was looking to process what's been happening with another man to better unpack his own privilege and identify ways to move toward justice.

ECO students represent a different band of students on our campus that I haven't worked with previously (coming from working with just ELS and ECFS students). This has allowed me to think more creatively to identify solutions for students and administrative processes.

Even though I knew who I was as an undergraduate, I didn't know how to talk about it or what to do with my identity. I'm humbled and honored by the number of Asian American students in ECO who are more knowledgeable and articulate than I was at their stage of life, and I'm excited to see where they go from here. I'm proud that of the the eight ELTEP students that I taught, five are students of color.

They get to engage in some really complex ideas about eduction--and have the space to talk and process these complexities and challenges

# data[].attributes.body
EDUC 251 topically mirrors a lot of work that I do in community and in other professional spaces. Teaching the same course over and over again forces me to identify specific moments of facilitation that I want to work on. I also have to be aware, though, of the difference between facilitating a group of undergraduate students, many of whom have to take my course, and a group of community members or professional educators. Also, each section has a really different vibe, and making in class and section to section adjustments sharpens my instructional game.

Technology support and availability of digital tools for students. Not having a digital device should not be a barrier to entry.

Also, developing a support system for chronically absent students; identifying causes and interventions for bringing students to class and fulfilling coursework obligations.

Another issue is the heavy reliance on "writing" as an assessment device--what are other forms of assessment that should be considered equally valid?

I know that we are an R1 institution. That doesn't that this is all that we are. Teaching in higher ed cam be a profession, a field, and a calling unto itself. I'd like for our doc students to know this and to not feel or be seen as second-tier intellectuals. The opportunity for growing incredible doc-student educators is currently suppressed by our college climate. It's an opportunity lost.
