Plans For Reopening Schools, Part 1Matt and Courtney discuss how states/districts are planning to reopen for learning in the fall, and look at it from a personalized learning angle. How can we continue to make school engaging AND equitable in a blended environment of in-person and remote learning? And do it for ALL kids, not just what we did in the spring?
Covid-19 is making us think differently about how we do school, whether we like it or not. Let's make it work for all kids this time.

STATISTICS AND ARGUMENT - CRITICAL THINKING ALL THE TIME!Matt and Courtney return with an in-person pod!

Anyways, take a listen from the Before Times. Let us know what you think at plearnmc.com!
