Follow-along Workshop (60 Minutes)
Nikki Ross (w/ Jenna Hanson, Barbara Van Dyken, Jennifer Owens)
This presentation highlights our work to transform and align our EL Distance Learning programs to better serve students unable to attend class in person or those waiting for an open spot in our extremely impacted EL program. In addition to Distance Learning as an independent study model, we will explore piloted hybrid options that double capacity in in-person classes. Teacher support in these transitions as well as digital literacy integration will drive our ability to move forward and succeed.
