We are wrapping up the second part of Remote Learning 2.0 and have worked with hundreds of educators across the state to integrate remote learning. The Remote Learning Done “Right” session continues to be the most popular session for both administrators and teachers. If you are interested in this opportunity for your district staff, don’t hesitate to contact me.

Part 1: Mon., Nov. 9th from 10–11:30am via Zoom (Target Audience: Superintendents and Administrators) Register Here The first session is designed to provide school district leaders with specific strategies for identifying and actively addressing any potential racial inequities, whether in physical form and/or embedded curriculum, that exist within your respective school district. Leaders will also be provided the opportunity to engage in the initial stages of action planning for successfully expanding your work beyond participation in session one. Part 2: Thurs., Feb. 11th from 10–11:30am via Zoom (Target Audience: Superintendents, Administrators and Teachers) Register Here School administrators are highly encouraged to participate in session two with key teachers in the district. Session two will focus on the lens of a classroom teacher and is designed to provide teachers with a level of understanding related to how to implement equity based, culturally responsive instructional practices at the classroom level. Women inLeadership: Leading, LearningandLiving! Administrators’ Academy We have held two administrators’ academies thus far for Women in Leadership, which have received rave reviews. As a result of this success, we’re adding three additional academies in the spring. The next academy will be held December 8th, and you can register here.

What’sRaceGot toDoWith It? In the wake of tragic national events that highlighted race relations in our country, IASA is proud to partner with Dr. Donna Leak and Dr. Sonya Whitaker on a new workshop series designed to help educators implement more culturally responsive practices in their districts. The first two workshops are free and will be held virtually via Zoom. The hope is to offer Part 3 at the IASA Annual Conference April 7-9 in Springfield.
