Very high increases of mental health crisis on our campus.

Right now, I do feel as though I am good at my job, and am I trying to do my best for my students. They are not always responding to this in the way I would prefer, but that's not necessarily a reflection on me. https://padlet.com/ariswinger/4yoqturzmvdsrvqy/wish/2390467280 2022-11-18 21:08:59 UTC https://padlet.com/ariswinger/4yoqturzmvdsrvqy/wish/2390467280 BREAK BREAK BREAK BREAK https://padlet.com/ariswinger/4yoqturzmvdsrvqy/wish/2390467417 2022-11-18 21:09:15 UTC https://padlet.com/ariswinger/4yoqturzmvdsrvqy/wish/2390467417 same re: budget -- i think admin only has mental space for enrollment and $$ right now, and it's frustrating https://padlet.com/ariswinger/4yoqturzmvdsrvqy/wish/2390467545 2022-11-18 21:09:28 UTC https://padlet.com/ariswinger/4yoqturzmvdsrvqy/wish/2390467545 Our campus as well is having lots of mental health challenges with students, especially at this point in the semester rg117 https://padlet.com/ariswinger/4yoqturzmvdsrvqy/wish/2390467732 2022-11-18 21:09:50 UTC https://padlet.com/ariswinger/4yoqturzmvdsrvqy/wish/2390467732 So anxious all the time https://padlet.com/ariswinger/4yoqturzmvdsrvqy/wish/2390467797 Personally]]> 2022-11-18 21:09:57 UTC https://padlet.com/ariswinger/4yoqturzmvdsrvqy/wish/2390467797 As others have said . . . lots of students who are struggling. Really low attendance in classes (I'm going to start doing mandatory attendance next semester to hopefully help encourage them to just show up). https://padlet.com/ariswinger/4yoqturzmvdsrvqy/wish/2390467834 2022-11-18 21:10:01 UTC https://padlet.com/ariswinger/4yoqturzmvdsrvqy/wish/2390467834 Oh, and also some of the unions that are striking are UAW, which is the same union that our grad students at SSU belong to. https://padlet.com/ariswinger/4yoqturzmvdsrvqy/wish/2390468231 2022-11-18 21:10:50 UTC https://padlet.com/ariswinger/4yoqturzmvdsrvqy/wish/2390468231 what does mandatory attendance look like? rg117 https://padlet.com/ariswinger/4yoqturzmvdsrvqy/wish/2390468992 2022-11-18 21:12:07 UTC https://padlet.com/ariswinger/4yoqturzmvdsrvqy/wish/2390468992 Regarding SSU budget issues - I am only able to keep it together now by lowkey ignoring that looming problem. https://padlet.com/ariswinger/4yoqturzmvdsrvqy/wish/2390469140 2022-11-18 21:12:22 UTC https://padlet.com/ariswinger/4yoqturzmvdsrvqy/wish/2390469140 Mandatory Attendance (the way I would do it) . . . that I let students know that I expect them to be in class, and that I will randomly have pop quizzes and/or take attendance. Not every class period, but regularly. And if they are not present, they don't get those points. Period. It's not enough that someone's grade would be impacted if they miss a couple of classes here or there BUT someone who never comes to class would have difficulty getting a good grade. Because coming to class matters. https://padlet.com/ariswinger/4yoqturzmvdsrvqy/wish/2390469882 2022-11-18 21:13:45 UTC https://padlet.com/ariswinger/4yoqturzmvdsrvqy/wish/2390469882
