Each session will run approximately 45 minutes and will focus on the key components of Distance Learning: creating your at-home learning environment, navigating instructional technology, and managing the social and emotional needs of kids. The session format will be a 15-20 minute presentation followed by 15-20 minutes of discussion. Sessions may be recorded and posted for parents that cannot attend. Each session will be limited to 40 participants. We will add more sessions if needed. You must register to attend. You will receive a confirmation email the night before your scheduled session.
