Due to overwhelming demand, the first round of webinars have been completely filled.
New dates have been added – on Nov. 19 and Dec. 1 – for a second round of webinars. See below for details.
How can teachers keep lessons coherent when working with blended/hybrid classes split between in-person and remote environments? Educators from three NYSUT locals offer practical solutions on how they're handling this challenge.
Panelists in this two-part series include an elementary teacher, a high school ELA/ENL teacher, and a K-12 P.E. teacher.
