This meeting was mostly devoted to the one topic that was on everybody’s mind which was and continues to be Covid along with all of its limitations and effects on:
– our individual teaching practice
-our students attendance, performance and mental health in class
-our curriculum and program
-our thirst for socialization and contact
-our fears and frustrations
The meeting was sparsely attended due to illness and absence.
Looking ahead to continuing our discussion on equity and inclusion, our department is looking into attending virtually the Global Language Conference which usually takes place at Mohonk in the Spring.
