I hired a fellow UT PhD to be on my team at my last job in academic health. She studied English Lit with focus on disability studies and Latino studies and I cannot tell you how valuable her knowledge and skills are in improving faculty's mentoring competencies.
What a shame, UT.
Loved this!
Also excited to see you teach in my old dept! I got my MSEd in TESOL at Penn and was one of Dr. Pica's TAs, took classes with Dr. Hornberger, and babysat Dr. Pomerantz's eldest when she was an infant (!)
I'm glad to follow you now. :)
"No Manches": Mexican slang and gender
Maybe?
I think the awkward part is the part after the colon. The part in quotes could be fine to include all of.
Titling is hard! I agree, concise is nice when possible.
We'd love to see others try it out and adapt it for their own needs!
This framework is inspired by Moore's Outcomes (from CME), the Medicine Wheel, and what we saw in the frameworks we analyzed during the scoping review. Our hope is that this framework is widely useful to learning in higher education and professional development across disciplines.

We have two studies to share, both of which contribute to the final version of our Evidence of Learning and Impact Framework.
Study 1: Scoping review of outcomes frameworks - aalhe.scholasticahq.com/.../123960-b....
My co-authors and I have wrapped up a 4 year effort to create, iterate, and publish a learning outcomes framework which all of OHSU's academic programs now align to in institutional assessment processes.

We looked at how to improve the feedback that students give to faculty about their teaching skills in clinical environments (in the operating room, while doing rounds, etc). The study highlights the balance between making evaluations easy to complete vs. actually providing useful info.
![A visual abstsract of a paper titled "Improving Faculty Teaching of Medical Students During Surgical Clerkships: The feedback they want and the feedback they need". It shows that the study methods included 9 interviews of surgical core clerkshop supervisors and used reflective thematic analysis. The feedback faculty receive was found to arrive too late for it to be useful, have inflated likert ratings, and lack actionable insights for about 50% of the participants. Themes which we framed as tips to make teaching feedback more actionable include: be direct, encourage specificity in qualitative feedback, ask about student's individual learning goals and if they were met. Tips related to understanding context include asking about duration and frquency of teaching interactions being evaluated and asking about the location of the teaching interactions (intraoperative, wards, or clinic). A quote from a participant about context is shared on the right hand side of the visual: "Like, if you're amazing on the floor but you never engage the medical student in the operating room. Or, you know, you're just using them as a scribe in clinic, and you'ure not letting them kind of create thier own management plans, I think that would be helpful". Next steps are listed at the bottom: to use our faculty-driven recommendations to pilot a context-rich, behavior-focused evaluation tool to embed nuanced, actionable feedback into surgical training [related to faculty pedagogy skills]. The very bottom of the image shows the Journal of Surgical Education's logo and lists the short citation "Moreno, Fry, Walker & Cook @JSurgEduc 2025". A few small, monocrhomatic icons to represent each point are also included to make the abstract more visual (but not adding extra information.)](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:x2ewd2gxm7jjzmn7zjqyom3t/bafkreicckpfycw5bwqu4letc3tzpa7evoh2r2vpdefffw7cvymzlafvkpy)
I work in energy efficiency now, but am wrapping up research projects from my time at OHSU in academic medicine. One of those projects was published last month in the Journal of Surgery Education. (My first attempt at a visual abstract!) #surgeryeducation #clinicalteaching #feedback
Brian! What a fantastic, beautiful, heartbreaking read. I just finished your book and my book club in Portland, OR is discussing it on Thursday. You thoughtfully wove story and history and policy, so compelling and illuminating. What a huge undertaking. Thank you for doing such GOOD work.
I'm in downtown PDX right now, just had a bubble tea near Portland State, it's a gorgeous and quiet evening.
New Mexico also is very generous with college tuition. My understanding is most NM residents pay no tuition.
It's been a while since I was in a similar position (worked half-time and had a newborn/infant while I was finishing analysis and writing my dissertation). I think I spent 10 hours/week writing that last year. Good luck!
Crazy to see this article today, my mom worked for Dr. Miller for a decade in the 1990s/early 2000s and I'm sorry to hear how she's suffered.
👀 The details re: her professional relationships and (self-?) exclusion from the research conversation in her field were insightful 👀
I don't see him here but it looks like he is/was on Twitter. He looks a lot like I remember even in more recent photos.
I also lived in Stouffer! I was a GA there in 2002-2003 and lived with a bunch of freshmen. So weird to see it in the video!
We haven't hung it yet or added lighting but here is ours!
I have to second Erin Hanson! We have one of hers that is very similar dimensions, about 5 feet long. Love her stuff!
Matthew, your writing and perspective is consistently stunning. It makes me stop. And breathe. And think. And develop more empathy. I'm so glad I found you on Bluesky after Twitter!
Thanks, I will!!
Huge thanks for posting this link! I have a PhD and have been working in faculty development and assessment in academic medicine until very recently in Portland. I'm going to keep an eye on job postings at SFU and it looks like I can also submit a general interest application which I will do.
Just wanted to let you know that I'm going to use Griddle as part of an icebreaker during a data day at NEEA in January with the commercial HVAC teams I am on. I'm not at all an energy nerd, but everyone else is and I think they will love this! Thanks for making this!
I may pivot back to Education some day, maybe not. Hope if I do I can bring important insights and useful skills even from something so different as what I am doing now.
And I think this is my first thread ever, hope I did it right!
PhD generalists, people who have pivoted, alt-ac folks, etc. (How do you personally make sense of your careers?) And loving the exposure Bluesky is giving me to folks who work in my new areas of evaluation, understanding markets, and energy efficient technologies for buildings.
on this morning - writing up the findings of a qualitative study on surgeon' experiences of their clinical teaching being evaluated by students, even though now my paid job is running research and evaluation studies on uptake of efficient commercial HVAC.
Looking to connect with other
an adjunct, and and assistant professor.) More recently I pivoted away from education to focus on using my social science research skills in evaluation work and am learning a new industry - energy efficiency, while continuing to publish projects from my last academic job. That's what I'm working
undergrad research, foreign language education, museum research and evaluation, academic medicine faculty development including running faculty orientation and mentorship training, mentoring others in education research, and institutional assessment of student learning. I've been a teacher, staff,
