Responding to the needs of educators post-COVID-19
As co-chairs for education and professional development programming at the 2022 annual meeting in Philadelphia, we are excited to bring you thematic sessions that capture the needs of educators living in a world defined by words like "pandemic," "virus," "vaccines" and "quarantine." Educators are ready to move forward in their teaching and professional lives, and we are here to help.
91亚色传媒 2022 features two theme sessions to be held Sunday, April 3, and Monday, April 4. The Sunday session has panelists focused on inclusive communication — from developing collaborative environments to facilitating difficult conversations. The Monday session focuses on assessment — how we prepare and assess undergraduates for their future, using peer review to inform teaching and assessment of student learning.
Keywords: assessment, inclusive communication, education, professional development, faculty, teaching
Who should attend: teaching faculty, educators and higher education or department administrators
Theme song: "I'm still standing" by Elton John
Faculty and administrators are still standing after dealing with COVID-19 for the last year and a half. These education and professional development–focused sessions will cover some of the topics we need to respond to and keep moving forward in our ever-changing academic environment.
This session is powered by forward thinking.
