The depth of knowledge and willingness to share it openly was incredible. Collaboration was everywhere and positivity flows calmly and patiently. I began in 2020 at a time when everyone had to be flexible, and did we ever. So many people worked so hard to sort out the anomaly of a 2020 cohort as the world just refused to cooperate. In the end, we had a better experience for it, as this framework and support network that is here to hold us up held us through some of the darkest times teaching has seen in the 21st century, and we’re all the stronger for journeying through it together.
