Blogs One of the best greeting cards I ever received said…
I still find each day is too short for
all the thoughts I want to think,
all the books I want to read,
and all the friends I want to see.
If given the chance, I would add “and all the things I want to learn!”
One convenient and increasingly popular tool that cultivates learning is the webinar. But, with so many choices, webinars, like a garden full of flowers, they can be challenging to pick. To ease the process, we’ve done the weeding for you and narrowed the selection to topics that are of concern and interest to teachers:
- Teaching during Covid-19
- Social-Emotional Learning
- Culturally Responsive Teaching
- Teacher Self-Care
- Tech Tools
Some of the webinars are available on demand; others are upcoming so have not yet been recorded. Whether you attend a live webinar or one that was previously recorded, there is learning to be done!
