  3. Renewing our commitment to . . . • Bridge the gap between tenured, adjunct, and graduate student teachers • Teach with the whole self (personal, political, spiritual) • Restructure classroom and departmental power in order to empower, not oppress stakeholders • Make an effort to enter into dialogue about writing with educators from other disciplines Teach What attendees are saying . . . We have to think of students as co-inquirers fully engaged in the learning journey.

  4. Renewing our commitment to . . . • Create your own “rhetorical repertoire” that best captures your viewpoint in terms of institutional analysis, trends, and praxis • Avoid writing about what has been overdone • Pedagogy, expressivism, power, resistance, identity, genre, new media • Consider exploring emerging topics • New technology, commenting, peer review, maintaining control in light of assessment, conferencing Publish What attendees are saying . . . It is time to limit our bragging. It is okay to NOT write about the victories.

  5. Renewing our commitment to . . . • We must advocate for our fellow colleagues • Non tenure-track professionals • Graduate students who teach • Working parents • All colleagues struggling with the demands of professionalization • We must advocate for our students • Create a community of learners in the classroom • Decrease atmospheres of silence • Focus on shared experience, voice, and identity Advocate What attendees are saying . . . Balance in the workplace cannot be a once and forever static experience.

  6. Renewing our commitment to . . . • Assessment is a social act • Assessment of critical thinking skills part and parcel of student evaluation • Programmatic improvement is dependent on accurate archiving • Stakeholders all depend on assessment data • Students • Instructors and departments • Academy at large Assess What attendees are saying . . . It’s hard to evaluate your own assumptions.

  7. Renewing our commitment to . . . • It is time to think “outside the portfolio” • Blogging • Journaling • Photo/audio/film essays • Web design • Social media as rhetorical device • Rhetoric is all around us, so we must look everywhere for inspiration as we conceive of new theories and practices • Visual • Technological • Auditory • Multiple forms of media • Memory and place • Space and time Innovate What attendees are saying . . . I want us to reflect on what we’re doing and improve our practice.
