Reinventing the Room with Melissa Barry

August 7, 2020

Although Covid-19 may appear to have changed everything about the teaching profession, the truth is teachers have always thought "outside the box" and have applied creativity and sound pedagogy to manage the myriad challenges of a typical school year. Remote learning, when viewed with this lens, is no different. There is no doubt that teachers across the country are asking themselves the same question: Where do we begin? 

The first step is to recognize this is going to be different AND that is OK! You are not just shifting into a new physical and virtual world of teaching, you are shifting your mindsets on how kids learn. 

Restructuring Your Distance Learning Plans with Melissa Barry

September 17, 2020

The truth is… this is awful!  You’ve done the work, planned the best you could, and gone above your usual 110% to create a nurturing, engaging learning environment at a time of total uncertainty. Then, when you get into your classroom (virtual, in-person, or both!), all set to hit it out of the park... all you hear is crickets.

The fact of the matter is, the first few weeks DO NOT go as planned.  Join Melissa Barry in a real conversation on what to expect and what REALLY works when it comes to engaging students online.  Melissa will walk you through what the messy middle looks like and give you specific strategies that worked for her.
