We are returning to classrooms that are very different from the ones we left. Students have been impacted by a pandemic and trauma and are returning to a new, virtual classroom with potential racial tension. No longer can we rely on our regular classroom collaboration strategies for learning experiences or traditional parent outreach. How can we instead take what we already know about engaging students and parents and translate it to distanced learning experiences? How can we take a proactive approach to social justice and race issues to create an open dialogue? And how do we do all of this virtually? This webinar will provide examples and resources to help you with student engagement, parent relationships and developing an anti-racist community. tinyurl.com/changedclass
