I'm Sanaa (facilitator)
Feeling: Inspired ✨
Strength I bring: Positive energy and a student-centered mindset
Hoping to gain: Fresh ideas I can take back to my classrooms and share with others!

πŸ“Œ A strategy I’ve used:
Before the semester begins, I send a friendly welcome email with a short message, and a QR code to my liquid syllabus. The liquid syllabus is mobile-friendly, allowing students to easily bookmark and revisit it anytime.
it also helps students feel seen before we even meet on Day 1. I included the QR and link to one of my liquid syllabi, please scan the code or press link to visit.

Can’t wait to learn from all of you! πŸ’¬πŸ’‘
