This school year has been challenging and understandably some educators are in a hurry to move from online learning back to familiar classroom teaching models. But going back to the way things were before the pandemic isn’t a realistic goal and misses opportunities for creating a new approach that blends the expertise and human connection offered by teachers in a classroom alongside the benefits of a digital curriculum.
While many things remain uncertain about the year ahead, districts are fully engaged in the challenging work of moving education forward as we consider what changes will be needed, even desired, to best serve the needs of students and their families in a post pandemic world. They view disruptive change as an opportunity to reinvigorate our commitment to learning and push us toward innovation. In this webinar, we will explore changes that can shape the future of education and our commitment to moving forward in positive and meaningful ways.
