What is it like for a South Los Angeles native to be living in Florence, Italy, but teaching students at New York University Shanghai? A profound and extraordinary experience. I've got to share some photos of the fieldwork that students in Shanghai are carrying out. Perhaps educators here can use this assignment as a project because many of us are struggling to convert in-class work to the virtual. These are 1st year students. Their job was to do some fieldwork at a teahouse in the city. Blew me away. Their commitment to the class makes me wonder how wonderful we would be in the US, if we gave more resources to schools across the board, more respect to teachers and more honor to students. Now we're facing unimaginable gaps. US folk, we are behind the curve ball, the corner pocket, the corn field and the corner sto'. Teachers, please be safe, sane and as productive as you can be during this time. #teachers #china #internationalteacher #educators #collegeteaching #pandemicteaching #schools …see more
