[Factc] How is SBCTC Supporting STEM Faculty During COVID 19?

[Jennifer Whetham]

Dear Vice Presidents of Instruction:



To support STEM faculty as they face significant challenges transitioning their F2F courses online during the pandemic, SBCTC has formed discipline specific communities of practice (CoPs) of STEM faculty.



Why? Faculty from around the Washington State CTC system can share

  1.

instructional resources they are developing to meet the needs of students during the pandemic (i.e. low-tech, low-cost, safe, etc.)

  2.  strategies they are using to successfully support student learning, engagement, and retention



Requested Action: Please let your STEM faculty know about this opportunity by sharing this "Master List of STEM CoPs document with them: https://bit.ly/2XmjnJ6

Peace,


Jen
