GM Everyone! We will resume our Sit N Write workshops officially starting January 31, 2025, at 9:30 AM. To help launch us, we will have a virtual<https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/4ut0pqV-QVaZXGtCQhvrqQ#/registrati…> morning workshop "Teaching, Thriving, & Flourishing in Challenging Times: Saving Our Selves & Our Classrooms" with Dr. Roxanne Donovan of Kennesaw State University and founder of Well Academic<https://www.wellacademic.com/>. Dr. Donovan is also co-author of Teaching Diversity Relationally: Engaging Emotions and Embracing Possibilities<https://www.routledge.com/Teaching-Diversity-Relationally-Engaging-Emotions…>. The workshop will focus on balancing the demands of the classroom while navigating a research and scholarship agenda. While this workshop builds on our September 6, 2024, session with Dr. Donovan, we encourage anyone interested in exploring best practices for navigating the classroom over the next four years to join us. Dr. Donovan will explore hands-on techniques to manage competing demands, like those of teaching and scholarship, as well as work and family. Please plan to attend with writing utensils for long-hand exercises. Dr. Donovan hopes to help us all to explore methods and best practices for Sustaining Our Selves (SOS) and our classrooms for the coming term and beyond. You may register for this workshop (and subsequent Sit N Write sessions) here: QC Spring 25 Sit’n’Write<https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/4ut0pqV-QVaZXGtCQhvrqQ#/registrati…> Our time with Dr. Donovan will end at 12:30 PM. We will break for lunch and then move to our annual "Every Semester Needs a Plan" working session. For those interested, we will view a step-by-step guide to planning out a balanced semester. For those interested in a head start on this, you may view : https://vimeo.com/133385186 . We will be using an updated version of this video. It is shared for practice purposes. You may also wish to view the template for semester planning attached to this email. To help streamline things, we are using one registration link for both Publish and Flourish and Sit N Write. Whether you attend via Zoom or in person, you are asked to register for the Zoom link. Once registered, you will receive our Sit n Write Intake form that will ask you to state your preference for in-person or virtual participation. We strongly encourage in-person participation where possible. Our January 31, 2025, morning workshop (by request of the facilitator) will be virtual. Attached is a flier for " Teaching, Thriving, & Flourishing in Challenging Times: Saving Our Selves & Our Classrooms." Please register here: QC Spring 25 Sit’n’Write<https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/4ut0pqV-QVaZXGtCQhvrqQ#/registrati…> no later than Noon on January 24, 2025, so that Dr. Donovan may have a head count for the Friday, January 31, 2025, workshop.
