The week will close with a Zoom session on Friday as we reflect on what we’ve learned.
A schedule of specific open classrooms and times will be made available to everyone who signs up.
Expect appreciative dialogue with colleagues and new insights and ideas into teaching and learning to add to your (remote adapted) teaching repertoire.
Time commitment: Time required is up to you, depending on how many classes you decide to join. Participation in the pre-meeting and the wrap-up is recommended but not required.
