Welcome to distance learning for all- students and educators! I've curated a list of lots of tools for us to use in our time away from learning in our traditional school setting. Please let me know how I can support you or if there's resources and ideas I can post here. Click many of the photos/logos to go directly to the page!

*CEUs needed for your license renewal are: literacy, content, and digital. Things like Equity and SEL tend to fall into the "general CEU" category, which I still submit for your PD transcripts but don't necessarily count towards renewal. Also, general planning isn't an activity for CEUs, as there needs to be the component of professional learning, not simply "job duties." If you have a question about this, please let me know.
