- I posted this on the end of another thread, but I figured why not give it a thread of its own? Tomorrow I might be sorry I didn't.I'm bracing myself for a body blow, so I'd like to vent.I'm really glad others here think I will get tenure tomorrow. ...
- Well, this was the last working day before the April 10th deadline for my tenure committee at my college to make up its mind as to whether I get tenure or not. I had been silent ever since March 24th when I turned in my PTSD plan to them, but today...
- The wait goes on for my tenure committee to respond to my PTSD plan. It's interesting that they've gone 15 days now without replying at all to someone who admitted to them that he had an anxiety disorder.It made me feel good today when a DS PTSD...
- My tenure committee continues to ignore the fact that on March 24 they were sent a letter with my accommodation plan for PTSD. I wrote that letter with the help of my college's Vice President, so it's notable that they still ignore it.Their...
- Easter Sunday was fun, all warm and sunny. I had a ball speaking at a church yesterday saying that Jesus maybe had PTSD on Easter Saturday and almost decided not to make a comeback until Sunday because people were just rotten to him on Friday. I...
- Now that my PTSD treatment plan to address the minority of negative student comments on my teaching evaluations that show I snapped at students when triggered in class, I'm reflecting on that.For all 5 years I have worked at my college, I kept from...
- Hey, all, thanks for the support. I woke up this morning to a phone call from a senior wise colleague who said that my plan to "come out" completely about PTSD to my tenure committee after yesterday's meeting was a good plan. That was the way to...
- Things are not ok right now. One of my former grad school instructors who wrote letters of recommendation just wrote me about my tenure problem. She thinks it can't be just unfairness toward me, but it's also my PTSD putting too many people off. ...
- It went well as far as my answering questions went. Every member of the tenure committee had a negative student comment from one of my evaluations. Each one brought up the example they had picked. I answered each one as to what I had done to...
- I checked my community college email address to see if my tenure committee had told me yet where & when my 2nd tenure interview was to be tomorrow. Instead, I found this email from a former student who says that when I was her instructor she...
- I just came home for going to dinner after school with some colleagues to find a message from my college's tenure committee. I opened it expecting to be told I got tenure, but then to my dismay found that it was not so. I wasn't denied tenure,...
- Midterm grades went out last week, and most of my students did well. One of them came to me and we had a great conversation. Since it I can really see he followed through on what we talked about and has changed for the better in class. It's...
- Wow, did my backup interview with another college in California today ever SUCK. First of all, because it wasn't via Skype after all. My bad. In their email acknowledging that I had sent my Skype address, lower down in the body of the email they...
- This week I've really been here a lot asking for support not to give in to my fight or flight response due to stress at work. I had a conflict with my boss on Monday, and managed to keep my cool through it with a LOT of support from here. Then...
- Tough day at work with that class I took over to teach from the guy who wasn't using textbooks. Midterm grades went out, and one of the students who signed up for the other easy teacher expecting an easy A was lying in wait for me before class...
