 Is there anything about your program or the way you teach that you'd like to share with your colleagues?
 Lad Tobin, Boston College (MA)
When students say they're bored I think it's about them. But when I'm bored, I don't think it's about me. I think it's important to consider what psychological conditions produce my own boredom. That helps me to understand my students better.
 Adrienne Cassel, Wright State University (OH)
I teach "Rhetoric for Hell-Raisers." It's about social activism. We read writing that has had a social impact, such as Martin Luther King Jr., June Jordan, or Rachel Carson. Then we talk about different ways that language and power work together.
 Donna Lund,
Robert Morris College (PA)
I supervise English student teachers. I am trying to share how high school English teachers imagine what college teachers want. They think that college teachers want high diction--balderdash. When I get students in college and I tell them I want to know what they think, they are shocked. They are uncomfortable about expressing their own ideas.
