A Virtual Convening: Teacher Readiness for Online Learning

Episode 2 of NCTET’s Continuing Series: Lessons Learned From COVID

Tuesday, September 22, 2-3 PM Eastern

Last spring, when K-12 schools abruptly closed nationwide due to the outbreak of COVID-19, educators were forced to transition courses to an online environment. For many schools, this new school year is also beginning entirely online or under a hybrid physical/virtual plan. Among the many issues schools are facing during the COVID-19 crisis, how to prepare educators to deliver content and engage all students in an online environment is proving to be of paramount importance. 

This webinar will provide an in-depth look, through the eyes of four educational leaders, at these issues:

• Educator experiences teaching online last spring and this fall

• Effective strategies to prepare educators to deliver instruction online

• State and federal government roles in supporting educator professional development for online learning

Leaders scheduled to share their strategies include:

• Dr. Mike Flynn, Director, Mathematics Leadership Programs, Mount Holyoke College, MA  

• Dr. Veronica Garcia, Superintendent, Santa Fe Public Schools, NM

• Dr. Jeff Gorman, Deputy Superintendent of Schools, Mount Vernon City School District, NY

• Dr. David Schuler, Superintendent, District 214, Arlington Heights, IL
