About this Event
Those involved with teaching and learning have to wonder, how will we support the social and emotional needs of students and families as we transition back into hybrid and in-person learning?
WEC invited educators and community leaders to discuss the role of learning hubs, the use of technology, the pedagogical shifts in the classroom, and local/national policy that can strengthen our commitment to creating healthy and safe schools during this re-entry and re-imagination process.
On Wednesday, April 28th from 4 PM - 6 PM we were joined by dozens of community members via zoom, to hear how leaders are approaching this crucial work.
