  • 96 Building Our Own Systems
    Apr 25 2025

    Reflecting on the interview with Anna, who shared about accommodations for her students and herself.

    Learning how to build our own systems/structures is often more useful than being handed a system. Because no matter how much dopamine we get initially from a new tool or system, it inevitably becomes stale.

    Instead of throwing the whole thing out the window every time, I've learned how to pull forward elements that are still working. This continuous process of experimenting and tweaking (with rest/recovery interspersed, of course!) has made my life so much easier.


    Last 10m of the episode is about why I'm doing the work I'm doing, and the live round of LYB:

  • 95 Kind Accommodations for Students & Teachers with Anna Shaver
    Apr 19 2025

    Anna is an educator who has developed an incredible approach with accommodations at the core (for the student AND herself!). It makes sense pedagogically, and it's working! With a core of psychological safety, students are able to explore writing and language with their own goals in mind.


    We've also known each other since I was 15... so we talk a bit about the mysterious backstory of living in a Christian sorority ;)



    Resources Anna mentioned:
    1. Her English 101 Online Textbook
    2. Workshopping: Liz Lerman's Critical Response Process
    3. All My Relations podcast
