UMD's Jennifer Kreps Frisch is pretty excited about teaching teachers how to get their students outside.

And that was before she knew it was due to hit 70°F today.

You would think teachers - college professors or those who hope to become teachers when they graduate - would be the last people to have anything good to say about the effects of the pandemic on their profession, but Frisch says this is a chance to allow teachers to do what they do best: think on their feet and build on the relationships they've created with their students.
