Department of Teaching and
Learning Staff
Staff members listed except
Aimee Fearing were those who occupied positions in the Department of Learning
when I last collected this data, in spring 2019. There has since been considerable turnover,
so that five of those given below are not on staff as of September 2019. Fearing came on staff for this academic year
2019-2020; inasmuch as she is the new
director of the department, I include her credential here, along with staff on
the spring 2019 list.
