Looking Back, Looking Ahead: Faculty Members Talk about the Challenging Year That Was and What Lies Ahead
Finkel, Ed
Community College Journal, v91 n4 p16-19 Feb-Mar 2021
Community college faculty have always been more than classroom teachers, but during the pandemic their roles as counselors, navigators and sources of needed referrals perhaps have never been more paramount--or appreciated. Beyond the dizzying logistics and scrambled pedagogy involved in switching from in-person to online learning, faculty have needed to overcome their fears and frustrations, keep students engaged, celebrate what successes they can, avail themselves of professional development resources and support from their leadership, and look to the future. This article provides insight into teachers' experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic. The teachers touch upon topics such as challenges and victories, staying responsive to students, support from administration, and moving beyond the pandemic.
