A Toolkit to Ensure All Students are Learning During the COVID-19 Pandemic

A Toolkit to Ensure All Students are Learning During the COVID-19 Pandemic | Student Motivation, Engagement & Culture | Scoop.it
Across the state, many educators have been concerned about children who are not showing up in any counts in any schools. This would be an alarming phenomenon in any year but is particularly alarming during the COVID-19 crisis when many children are not attending school in person. Without in-person classes, many students have lost not only the nurturing, learning environment of school, but also a sense of stability, a safe space, access to technology, consistent daily meals, counseling, and other critical supports. Now more than ever, districts, community leaders, and others must work to ensure that students are reconnected to their schools – a safe, caring, stable place to learn and grow. #EveryStudentMatters
