| Planning for the upcoming school year requires us to think flexibly and differently about how to authentically include, engage, and make learning accessible to ALL learners. Whether you’re heading back to a hybrid or in-person classroom, it’s critical to establish an inclusive physical, social, and academic environment that is flexible and responsive to the needs of diverse learners. By nurturing a love of reading and writing, we can provide opportunities not just to practice skills but also to develop empathy for others. This is no small task, but it’s of monumental importance after the last year and a half of interrupted schooling. In this 60-minute panel presentation Kathy, Dan, Matt, and Jessica will discuss ideas for how we might use literacy as an entry point for providing social and emotional support while also engaging students in joyful and inspired learning experiences. |
