Overview
The current landscape of education is unprecedented. Teachers, students, and leaders have had to adapt to multiple modalities of learning quickly and with little support. Hybrid models blend learning among digital and in-person spaces, and one of the most difficult hybrid models is concurrent learning, where a subset of students connect from home to a live classroom led by a teacher in the school building. There is little research in this area to support teachers and leaders with best practices for how to engage students in this learning environment.
In this Virtual Workshop, participants will:
- Define best practices for engaging students in-person and online concurrently
- Explore concrete resources that apply to all contexts and feel sustainable and replicable
- Build a plan for creating a concurrent classroom that meets the needs of all learners
Audience
This workshop is intended to support teachers, coaches, or leaders who want to understand best practices for concurrent learning that will help in creating sustainable classrooms that meet the needs of all learners.
