This highly interactive 90-minute workshop will lead school and district leaders through one of the critical steps to ensure that their fall reopening plans and the subsequent implementation of those plans are holistic and inclusive. Specifically, it will explore the Prepare, Support, and Collaborate with Educators Building Block. This interactive session will enable district and school leaders to:

• Prepare educators for the school year, including opportunities to rethink roles and responsibilities;
• Develop systems and structures to support educators’ ability to monitor and assess students’ learning, well-being, and engagement;
• Support the professional development and personal well-being of educators;
• Explore how the model for teacher support and preparation should reflect the model for student support and instruction that is desired;
• Understand how designing for the margins can ensure an equitable strategy to teacher support and preparation;
• Work with and learn from peers in interactive, small break-out sessions; and
• Hear from a Massachusetts educator on their strategies to Prepare and Support Educators and learn more about what they have discovered in that process.

This workshop is reserved for Massachusetts educators sponsored by the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education .
