From Then to Now: What we’ve learned from our pedagogical journey during a time of crisis.
The transition from face-to-face instruction was fast. Many educators had never facilitated this level of online learning. Neither had many students. We all tried new tools and strategies along the way.
Let’s reflect on what we’ve learned, and how we’ve grown, during these past months.

When children return to us in the Fall, our classrooms will be a place of safety and solace for them. Let’s share ideas with each other about how to create responsive, high quality environments so we help to build flexible and resilient brains!
