Igniting and accelerating learning: Supporting educators in creating engaging classrooms
Presenters: Andrea Gautney, Ashley Howe, Pilar Ramos and Risa Sackman
Schools and districts are focused on accelerating student learning in this period of COVID-recovery, but what does it mean for educators and what can schools and districts do to facilitate their success?
Learning Forward and FHI 360 invite you to join this webinar as we hear from district and school educators about the supports and strategies they are putting into practice to create the conditions for student success. Join us as we explore lessons learned, favorite resources, and effective practices educators intend to sustain as schools resume and move into a COVID-recovery phase.
