Teachers Supporting Teachers at the time of COVID-19

Educators with experience teaching and learning online have been supporting their colleagues in making thoughtful choices as they begin to work with their learners from a distance during the time of COVID-19. Below are a few of these resources; check back for updates.


Critical and Creative Teaching in Response to the COVID-19 Crisis by the Chippewa River Writing Project

In these unique and unprecedented times, K-12 educators are being tasked with providing experiences for their students that range from “enrichment” activities to fully online, synchronous learning sessions. As we all work through a design and development phase of flexible learning options, we hope to share knowledge, insights, and activities that could be useful for other educators.

This series of weekly webinars will be offered as live, synchronous one-hour Zoom sessions on Tuesdays at 4:00 PM EST, and will be archived for later viewing. Teacher consultants leading these sessions are, like you, working under “stay home, stay safe” orders and are working to engage students in meaningful learning activities.
