our students are learning from a place of dislocation, anxiety, and trauma. So are we.
This is the single essential that must be built into the structure,
assignments, thinking about what and how we will teach online in the
Fall.
Think of the student first
Be a human first
What do our students need now? That is the essential question for going
on line. Whether teaching algebraic geometry or sociology or
literature or art or religion, we need to begin with the question of:
what would I need if I were a student in this historic moment? A great
place to start?
Ask them!

I appreciate there are naysayers who will chant, no need to coddle; this
virus situation isn’t that bad; buck up and be tough. I’m sorry, but
that posture seems totally out of touch with the realities of the
moment. It is not coddling or being a snowflake to reflect wisely on how
to respond to a traumatic moment in our nation and in the lives of our
students, faculty and staff.
