TCC: Fall Conversation #1--"What Just Happened? Lessons Learned in a Global Pandemic"

Please join us on Monday, Sept. 20, for the first of three fall 2021 conversations centered on our theme of Pedagogies of Care.

The Coronavirus pandemic has changed nearly all aspects of our lives, the magnitude of which we are only beginning to understand. It has been regularly frustrating, anxiety-inducing, and often heartbreaking. We have seen our loved ones and our students grapple with issues related to employment, security, health, grief, and education, to name but a few.

But what if it is also wrought with opportunities?

We have individually learned so much in the past 18 months about communicating, educating, and our own health. What have we collectively learned that is worth keeping as we move forward in our lives and our careers? What are we never doing again? How can we facilitate a learning environment that is compassionate, equitable, and still rigorous? How can we assist students in essential self-care, and how can we commit to it ourselves?

Bring a lunch or cup of coffee and join us, virtually, for this conversation facilitated by Donna Burke [TRS] and Amanda Colosimo [GEO].

All faculty and staff are welcome!

When: Monday, Sept. 20, 12-12:50 PM

Where: Zoom [see attached, or go to the Events Calendar listing to add the info to your own calendars]
