COVID TEACHING

COVID Teaching is a new and evolving genre of teaching where the goal is to somehow complete the chore of teaching.

Genre is a way of doing things repeatedly that comes with its own expectations, rules, and structures.

 

Just because you are unable to deliver good and effective learning using COVID Teaching, does not mean you are a “bad teacher.”

It usually means you did not fully understand or address the conventions of the genre.

In this genre –

• Interactive is different.
• Community is different.
• Group work is different.
• Your role with groups is different.
• Connecting with students is different.

You don’t have to feel that all your teaching experience has betrayed you. You can change your mind set to become a student of this genre.
