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
