How many professor feel confident and capable while teaching?

How many feel love for their students?

I know I didn’t use to, until @jessifer.bsky.social helped me learn HOW to teach.

My learning continues with the latest from @liznorell.bsky.social

Without the federal government’s active support of higher education, regular people lose access. And this is exactly what Trump wants— to discourage you from doing anything other than leaving meek lives run by billionaires.

College students are not kids.

We should teach the students we have, not the ones we might wish we had.

Community college is college.

Students should be able to afford to both live and learn.

All of this is possible.

Follow me for #RealCollege realities, hopes, and resistance.

While you’re here:

Not saying government is perfect either. The U.S. GAO is incorrectly reporting SNAP use among college students based on a measure collected by ED that doesn’t assess that usage.

As a result they are understating the problem & the resources needed to fix it.

Parents need to get a grip and stop doing this to their kids.

Community college IS college, and it’s a fabulous opportunity to learn from TEACHERS and with people from all sorts of backgrounds.

I got railroaded into a big university because community college was "beneath me" and I ended up completely aimless because nothing there was what I wanted to even do.... so $80,000 in student debt with no degree to show for it.

Not trying to compete but you got me going lol

Want to make a big difference for kids?

Invest in their parents.

My latest #RealCollege read is a collab with Josh Williams. ⬇️

Want to Make a Difference for Kids? Invest in their Parents’ Education
The intergenerational benefits of a college education are massive, and they begin accruing when both parent and child are in school at the same time.

We need a much bigger coalition to invest in improving access to college degrees for the folks who most stand to benefit. This must involve countering rhetoric about college’s value or lack thereof based on studies of the already-advantaged.

💡1 in 4 college students are food insecure; and many struggle to meet basic needs, like housing, transportation, and child care.

Believe in Students is home of the #RealCollege movement to address the basic needs insecurity many college students face on the way to graduation. 🎓

📢Food pantries ain’t it when it comes to ending hunger.

So this holiday season, please thank campus food pantry leaders AND partner with them to push the work much farther.

Beyond the Campus Food Pantry
Over the last decade the food pantry became a higher education trend, but hopeful signs for a future beyond campus food pantries abound.

There’s a lot in @annehelen.bsky.social ‘s tale that any burned-out professor can relate to, but yet: how different (& potentially even more morally hazardous?) is the decentralized departments-and-PIs funding model?

It’s a big “they’re not like us” departure point b/t elite and #RealCollege
