It's Friday...

Thank you, students, for your voices!

Hi, Natalie!

Thank you for your feedback, Dannia!

Thanks Natalie. I wish we could ask the students to use their cameras.

i concur

You can ask students to use cameras in an inviting way for sure. We just need to be understanding when it doesn’t work for students.

Student persistence is tied to all this valuable information these students are sharing, thank you!

I agree, Jim. Creating an environment that encourages cameras (by explaining why seeing each other is valuable) and respects students’ individual needs is key.

Student Orientation to Online Learning

I love when students remind me to record if I’ve forgotten to hit the button.

Teachers, go to Settings and click on Record on the Cloud. My students benefit from my recordings.

DSPS notes and we need more time on test. For students.

Thank you for highlighting the importance of mental health support, Nani. Students can go to our online form at Health Services to schedule one or more counseling appointments: www.miracosta.edu/healthservices. This is such a challenging time to be a student. Thank you, all, for being here and sharing your experiences.

#humanizing

That's a great teaching strategy to keep the learning going outside the stressful online environment!

@Nani- YES! Be unapologetic!

My son has a disability and I am so grateful you are speaking up and asking for improvement, Nani. :)

level the playing field

Pad those corners! I love that

EOPS- Candy Owens, Clarissa and Jose are angels. They are on me to finish all my stuff and they care for me in that they reach out and want to see my face even if it’s on Zoom. Great mentors

Balance is so important

Thank you for sharing, Dannia. We are all, teachers, administrators, and students, on the path on improving. I am a teacher and I have also have similar experiences (e.g. metal health problems, family obligations, etc. We can all relate...

I do have to run to work, thank you all for your time! Happy Friday everyone, have a good weekend

Thanks Tanetei!

Thanks Tanetei!

Thank you for being here, Tanetei

We need to stop feeling bad about feeling bad, and stop feeling ashamed. It’s something we faculty feel too, right? I love that Sean

Thank you, Tanetei

To many parent teacher conferences

Last night I heard a talk that reminded of this: “You have nothing to prove, and you don’t have to impress anyone.” We all need to remember that we are worthy, just because we are alive. It’s really hard to have that mindset though.

@Aaron: I know I feel that. And I'm working on giving myself space and grace

@Melissa: Yes!

Felicidades Jose!!!

Awesome, Jose! Congrats!

Right, curry?

Congratulations, Jose!

Love that mantra!

Yes!!! “Fail gloriously”…fail forward

Eso Karina!

I love you too!!!! So excited

Fan girl scream

Woo hoo Nani!

Woot…Woot Nani. Get it. Congrats for modeling for your children.

@Dannia- love your spirit. Gracias

Denada, Maria. Estar vivo es un regalo

We are also feeling the same..

Here here Jeanine! Many of us have “curvy” paths to where we are

I once had to cancel a final because my daughter had lice and couldn’t go to day care. I didn’t have anyone to watch her. I was so stressed. That experience and others made me very understanding and flexible with students when life issues come up.

Thank you Dania for humanizing Profes :) It is appreciated

Dannia

I recommend using and showing students how to use the “Hide Self View” option in Zoom. Research shows that seeing yourself increases fatigue. Share the research. https://news.stanford.edu/2021/02/23/four-causes-zoom-fatigue-solutions/

Congratulations, Natalie!!

Thanks for this link, Michelle. I HAVE to click "Hide Self View" or I can't handle Zoom

YES!!! FELICIDADES, NATALIE.

Woot! Natalie!!
