ONLINE LEARNING BEGINS WITH MANY CHALLENGES
THE CORONAVIRUS HAS FORCED A GRAND EXPERIMENT IN LEARNING at home. Of course, online learning does not replace classroom teachers, and unfortunately, the inequities in education make this an even bigger hurdle for many districts. In addition, public schools are faced with the difficulty of how to provide special education services.
YOUR ROUTINE, AND EVERYONE ELSE'S, HAS BEEN INTERRUPTED...
AS WE ALL WORK TO FLATTEN THE CORONAVIRUS CURVE, THE impact on students and educators is a concern that requires our attention. What can we do about the daily uncertainty that is challenging us all? As we make social distancing sustainable for an undetermined length of time, we must be aware of both physical and psychological well-being.
