How do you ask providers the right questions?
Have you ever wondered if your provider really understands you? We don’t have all the answers, but we can help you ask the right questions. Watch our panel discussion, where we dive into educators’ experiences in selecting and implementing digital curriculum.
Reimagining Schools
We have known for years that traditional school doesn’t work for many at-risk students, but one of the surprises from the pandemic was finding that other types of students thrived in the flexibility of remote, virtual, and hybrid learning. Forward-thinking district and school leaders are seeing the challenges and lessons learned from the pandemic as an opportunity to offer innovative and flexible options for students and families who, for a variety of reasons, don’t want to go back to traditional school now or possibly ever. In this panel discussion, school leaders and other education experts that are leading new options in learning shared insights about their school models, the populations they are serving, their challenges, and their successes.
Virtual, blended, and hybrid learning should not look the same at every grade level
Although primary and secondary education is often combined as “K-12,” everyone recognizes that second graders are very different from high school students. That said, how can we shift conversations regarding instructional strategies and policies to focus on the different ways online and hybrid learning can serve students of all ages?
Elevating Student Voices in Virtual and Hybrid Learning
Why do students choose online and hybrid schools? How do these learning models impact students? We know why some learners choose these options: flexibility; to pursue interests; to catch up or get ahead academically; as well as other motivations. Join us to hear directly from students about why they choose innovation and how it impacts their lives.
Reimagining Schools for Students and Families Seeking New Options
We have known for years that traditional school doesn’t work for many at-risk students, but one of the surprises from the pandemic was finding that other types of students thrived in the flexibility of remote, virtual, and hybrid learning. Forward thinking district and school leaders are seeing the challenges and lessons learned from Covid19 as an opportunity to offer innovative and flexible options for students and families who, for a variety of reasons, don’t want to go back to traditional school now or possibly ever—and may seek other options, including private schools or homeschooling if their local district doesn’t offer new opportunities.

SEL that Works for Hybrid and Virtual Learning
Social emotional learning has been recognized as critically important during this time of remote learning. But SEL is not new. Experienced educators have been considering SEL needs for decades and are now planning to incorporate SEL into a variety of online and hybrid learning environments.
