Episode description
This week Jared and Dani meet with Karen Sterling, Director of Student Advocacy in Canyons School District, as we continue with our Learn@Home series. We focus this episode on the equity issues brought up through the switch to distance learning. Our topics this week include: how to maintain relationships with parents and students while separated (including old school mail), how is the digital divide being addressed for those families who don't have access to technology, helping students with special needs cope with all the changes to their learning environments/schedules, and the importance to meet the social, emotional, and physical needs of students during times away from in-person education.
