Description: As a result of efforts to impede Coronavirus Disease 2019, districts and schools have moved toward virtual solutions to address students' learning needs. Yet online learning is still relatively new to many schools, teachers, and students, and there is much to learn about how to use it effectively. As schools and districts transition, this webinar will highlight some findings from research, while also providing examples from practitioners of how they have approached teaching in a virtual environment.
Audience:
This webinar is intended for local education agencies, school administrators, and teachers both in the Northeast & Islands region and nationally. Local education agencies and educators thinking about how to improve their existing remote learning solutions will be particularly interested.
