On March 11, TLC Director Gina Rae Foster began writing a series of emails for faculty to support the transition to remote teaching and learning. These emails cover three areas: 1) the initial redesign and movement of courses to the remote learningscape during March 12-March 18; 2) the re-entry and support of resilience in the new teaching and learning environment, and 3) the recalibration period from March 27-April 1.
The emails draw on Dr. Foster’s training and experience in family and community trauma and resiliency as well her teaching and pedagogical work over the past three decades and more. The emails are collected here in PDF form for convenient access.
