Description

How do we strike a balance between our work duties and self-care in the time of COVID-19? How do we protect ourselves from working 24/7 while ensuring that students feel heard by replying to them promptly? Many of us are simultaneously bored, anxious, having difficulty getting started with work, and worrying whether our work is enough. These uncertainties are impacting everyone’s bandwidth, and our students are confronting these same stressors.

For this Bring Your Best Idea session, we will virtually crowdsource your best ideas for balancing teaching and self-care in this lively, collaborative, and fast-paced sharing session. At the beginning of the session, participants will write a brief description of a problem or a strategy related to the theme in the chat box. Then, anyone who has an idea to share with the whole group will have one minute to elaborate on it. Whether or not you bring an idea to share, you’ll leave this session with new food for thought and several new ideas you might try in your own course.

Please click “Going” below to reserve your seat for this session and we will send you a Google calendar invitation with a WebEx link one hour before the session. If you register less than an hour before the session, you will receive the WebEx link when you register. Please email fdc@umbc.edu if you have any questions.
