BADGING IN THE SCHOOL OF FOREIGN LANGUAGES

Starting in the 2019-2020 academic year, we wanted to recognize the contributions that our colleagues were making to their ongoing professional development, as well as the collective improvement of the whole SFL.  
A rising tide lifts all boats.

This page is a repository – a backpack if you will – of the digital badges that our colleagues have earned through the projects that they designed and implemented and publicly presented – all in the face of Covid!
