1.10. Are you Enthusiastic? (with Dr. Pete Facciola)

Explicit content warning

04/24/20 • 20 min

Peter Facciola calls himself an introvert. So he was surprised to discover that the isolation which comes with teaching in the COVID-19 era wasn't sitting with him well.
He called in to talk about "feeling wobbly," and adjusting to #teachingintheCOVID19era. Dr. Facciola's not sure when he'll feel a sense of normalcy. Maybe it will be when he sets up a permanent work space at home.

He wants to know how others are finding ways to feel more and more like teachers. He wants students to tell him what they're worried about, or what they're afraid of. He doesn't want you to give up.
