At least one member of the forum has asked for an extension of our CFP. It seems the least we can do, given the circumstances. MLA has not extended the deadline to submit panels, however, so we still need proposals this week, by end of day Wednesday the 18th if possible. Please email with any concerns: scasey5@cscc.edu.

 

This week I return to the term with students who will be working with me online for the first time, some in their first online class, with an open mind: My students understand their learning, their struggles with and expertise in online technology. What can I learn from them as we collaborate to adapt to this new world? In the spirit of our 2020 session: how can I listen to and learn alongside my students, understanding that I may have encountered some of these challenges before, but that I can never fully know the creative, adaptive, and strategic actions my students will bring to the table as they join me to finish out the semester.

I look forward, optimistically, to our 2021 convention – in whatever form it takes. I look forward to learning from you and your students!

Our call:

Centering Student Expertise in the Classroom and Curriculum

“How do collaborative teaching and learning, alternative assessments, corequisites, and other classroom strategies reject the deficit model and center student experience? A panel on practical approaches for dismantling hierarchies in English.” 250-word proposals  may be submitted directly to Shawn Casey scasey5@cscc.edu by 18 March 2020.
