Yes, I know Dansville. It is halfway between Corning and Rochester. Got stopped by the police there one Saturday night at ~1am coming back from a trans/CD gathering in Rochester!?!? But, that is a story by itself…
One more thought…
Regardless of best intentions, mistakes will be made. But, the important thing is to not be afraid to ask questions about what is appropriate. If you have gained trust, your students will be OK with telling you and your colleagues what they want/need. The understanding part may not be easy as it will be foreign to your experience, but keep working at it. Be open to corrections. Sometimes apologies may be appropriate, but don’t overdo…
