Learn to Adapt, Adapt to Learn Gretchen Polenzani

Unprecedented Times. Unprecedented Teaching.

Personally and professionally, she learns to adapt to the "new normal". Honest and forthright, funny and poignant, the story follows her journey from national Lockdown in March 2020 to her vaccination in April 2021.
