Program: 2020 Summer Institute for Hybrid and Virtual Learning

Audience: Teachers, Administrators

Dates: 8/4/2020

This not only helps build trusting relationships, but also provides a point of entry to connect lessons to the things that the students find interesting and enjoyable. During this course, participants will explore ways to create a virtual environment of respect and rapport by building relationships, ensuring student safety, setting clear expectations, engaging students in meaningful learning experiences and discussions, and having fun!
By the end of this session, participants will:

She has positioned herself to help take the fear out of this emotionally-charged topic and help districts and community members guide kids towards empathy, kindness, and integrity. Getting this right sets kids up for a lifetime of success in a world where they are likely to find a job, meet their spouse, and build their reputations in interactive, digital communities. Raising Digital Natives is a place for parents and educators to get practical, timely, and non-judgmental advice to set our kids up for success in a digital world, and in life.
