6. What\u2019s the worst thing that has ever happened to you as a teacher?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My classroom at UVic was changed at the last minute to a different location, and [UVic] didn\u2019t inform me for the first three classes, so the students went to one classroom while I was waiting in another classroom alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intersectionally aware, non-binary, inclusive, non-hierarchal, trans-disciplinary learning modules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
