Description
If you struggled to reach your students last semester, you were not alone. According to the Chronicle, faculty were stunned by the intensity of college students’ disengagement and disconnection in spring 2022. What happened to everyone’s efforts to adapt to the (shifting) new normal? What happened to the energy we generated via the hope and joy we shared in our return to the classroom in Fall 2021? What can we do when our (formerly effective) engagement techniques don’t work anymore? What can we do to reach our disengaged students? How can we focus their attention on the learning they need to achieve their goals? How can we help them (and ourselves) overcome the impacts of our current times? Join your colleagues to discuss how we can reinvigorate ourselves and our students, so they engage more deeply with learning.
