Faculty, Are You Coping?
Hi there, your editor Maria Angel Ferrero.
How’s your week going? Are you coping?
This week we are still looking at personal stories on how we see the future of education and how we can make those changes real. We are also looking for articles sharing strategies and tips to make online and hybrid classes more engaging amid the prevailing COVID-19 outbreak while helping students, faculty, and administrators to cope with the emotional distress of this fall semester. If you want to share your story, please join us.
I am sincerely grateful for all the writers who are joining the conversation and have shared with us their most personal stories, inviting us to lead the change and do better. Join the conversation here and tell us how are you doing to cope with stress and uncertainty this fall.
Meanwhile, here’s the best of The Faculty stories for you.
