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 invites 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.
Please join us on Wednesday, April 28th from 4 PM - 6 PM via zoom to hear how leaders in our community are approaching this crucial work.
