“A Brave New World:
|
2020 changed our lives, and 2021 ushers in our brave new world of meeting the challenges we all have faced. What will our new normal be? Along with the pain, we have witnessed determination, compassion, and dedication. We have shown adaptability, creativity, and resilience. As we recover from our COVID-controlled lives, we must continue to apply these traits to our post-COVID reality.
In this spirit, our 2021 Fall Conference plans go forward as we come out of our homes and virtual classrooms and into personal interaction once again. However, we cannot be naïve nor ignore the lessons of 2020; we MAY need to re-adjust our plans on short notice. However, just as we did in 2020, ICTFL’s Fall Conference 2021 will still succeed through the collaborative efforts of the determined ICTFL Conference Committee, creative presenters, and dedicated Conference attendees; we will offer our members quality professional development. (Please note the dates may change a bit depending on COVID restrictions. If we must go virtual,
we will still schedule during that third week of October.)
As language educators in this brave new world, we look forward to the prospects of a better future!
