Equity and excellence in teaching and learning.
Reopening schools – what does hybrid mean?
Presenters: Pedro Dones, Robert Lamkin, Mark McHugh and Emanuelle Sippy
School systems across the country are grappling with reopening, reentry, and possible resurgence. There is pressure for schools to open online with equal pressure being applied to open in person. One option that seems to be a solution for some school systems is a hybrid model in which students would complete their studies both in-person (with reduced class sizes) and online.
Hear from district and school-based leaders about what this schedule might entail, how they will engage and meet the needs of students, how they are keeping parents informed, and how the last quarter of the last school year is informing this year’s start. Also hear from a student leader as she shares her experience and the outcomes of a new Kentucky study looking at the impacts of COVID on Kentucky students.
In this webinar, presenters will:
- Explore different hybrid schedules and understand potential opportunities and challenges;
- Share strategies learned and applied in making decisions around hybrid models; and
- Provide tools and resources for supporting teachers in a hybrid teaching and learning environment.
