Since CUNY is closed this Thursday, shall we aim to meet next Thursday at 1pm?

Ah, sorry I missed it! I didn’t see the email with the meeting announcement.

Hi all,

That’s great news! Are you thinking live or online or hybrid?

Hi Careen,

I really echo your concern about fostering a sense of belonging in the classroom. Having a failure as a setback is a belief that I have been indoctrinated with since a young age, as an immigrant. Dare I say, every time I encountered failure, I saw it as detrimental to my self-worth. As you suggested, using language and actions to build…[Read more]
