Outline

Covid 19 has been a catalyst for change in education . This new educational landscape is a work in progress and will be for several years to come. The session will be divided into 3 equal segments. In segment 1, we will review frameworks that can help districts access themselves as to where they are in developing a learning continuation plan. The second segment will focus on survey data concerning what worked and what didn't work in 2020 through early 2021. The final segment will focus on tools that can be used for easy access, guide teacher/parent/student conversations, and evaluate tools based on engagement and cost. Through all segments, participants will divide up into groups to discuss and review resources and discuss Each group will report out key findings and relevance of data sources to their work.
