[FUN_Mail] Get your students to read this semester - join us this Friday at Noon!

[Amy Jo Stavnezer]

Happy nearly end of July to you all,
The FUN Final Friday (FFF) team is back with our professional development plan for fall semester.  We kick off our pedagogical work together THIS FRIDAY, August 2 at Noon (ET) with a panel discussion on Getting Your Students to Read! We are meeting before the semester begins to provide time to implement change.

August 2: A panel of FUN members will present best practices for getting students to read and come to class (better) prepared. As we discuss implementation of these strategies, we’d also like to hear your practices – so please come ready to share. Join us on Friday, August 2 at Noon<https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZYucuypqD0uHNRx9UV3Jvx-qw_aHA7UShQZ> (ET) for helpful tips! (https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZYucuypqD0uHNRx9UV3Jvx-qw_aHA7UShQZ)
