Due to health concerns relating to the spread of COVID-19, the 2020 Fall Conference is going virtual.

FALL TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE & TRAINING CONFERENCE - VIRTUAL

Join us this fall, October 14-16 as we re-imagine the role of magnets in the new normal. From school closures to distance-learning with a flip of a switch, districts and schools were challenged getting to the end of the school year. As we forge ahead into the new school year, we know two things: there will be variations of blended learning to incorporate, and it is even more important not to lose sight of these areas that remain so valuable to magnets:

Equity and Access: Impact on Magnet Learning
COVID-19: Teacher Self-Care
Magnet & Social Emotional Learning (SEL): Support for Students/Parents/Families
Preserving and Implementing Themes
Marketing & Recruitment COVID-19

Be part of the conversations and discussions as we re-imagine the role of magnets in the new normal. #inthistogether #msavirtual
