Welcome to 2021! This year we are launching a webinar and workshop series called “Looking Forward with 2020 Vision: Lessons Learned From Last Year.”
This pandemic has taught us how to teach online, how to have meetings on Zoom, how to work from home. 2020 also pushed us to think harder about how Emory approaches diversity, equity, inclusivity, and social justice. We envision this series of discussions as a way to look forward to the fall semester and beyond: How will our work change? How can we use teaching techniques developed for online classes to improve our in-person teaching? We’re planning a workshop on flipping the classroom, a webinar on trauma-informed pedagogy, and more.
We welcome your suggestions: for example, in what ways has your teaching changed that you’re happy about? Teaching related suggestions can be submitted to our Contributed Teaching Techniques database, and you’re welcome to email me directly with suggestions for the 2020 Vision series (erweeks@emory.edu).
