April 21, 2020

Time: 4:00-5:00 p.m. Eastern

Location: Webinar

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.

Speakers: Dr. Jacqueline Zweig, Senior Research Scientist and Deputy Director, REL Northeast & Islands
Erin Stafford, Project Director, REL Northeast & Islands
Bonnie E. Nobiling, Director of IT Services and Data Protection Officer, Oneonta City School District
Julie Reece, Program Manager, Virtual Learning Academy Charter School
Jeff Renard, Director and Founder, Vermont Virtual Learning Cooperative
