COVID Communications: Making the Most of the Mask

Event Details

It is an uncomfortable time. We can resist this discomfort or embrace it. In choosing the latter, might we experience a greater sense of presence, creativity and connection in the classroom? Might we find that masks have the potential to reveal rather than hide our authentic selves? This session braves our new reality as teachers and offers perspectives on reading and reaching our students so that we might meet them where they are.
