> 9 BIG Questions Schools Must Ask to Avoid Going Back to Normal (Because Normal Wasn't That Great to Begin With)
As we begin to see a small light at the end of the pandemic tunnel, the pull to going "back to normal" will become stronger and stronger. But let's remember that "normal" is what caused many of the challenges that we face today: social injustice, income inequality, climate change, rising populism, and information illiteracy. For educators especially, instead of going back, we need to go forward to create schools that are more relevant, more equitable, and more just for all children. To do so requires a deep interrogation of the fundamentals of our work. This webinar will challenge you to grapple with nine crucial questions on a personal level, and to confront a new narrative for educators in this moment of huge disruption and change.

> Teaching Challenging Issues in Uncertain Times: Strategies for Online and Hybrid Teaching
In this self-paced course, you will learn and practice strategies for having discussions on challenging issues with students during these turbulent times with a particular focus on strategies for remote learning environments. You’ll hear insights from experts in the field, learn from the research on best practices, and reflect on dilemmas when teaching challenging issues. You’ll have an opportunity to try one of our “practice spaces”—simulations of classroom situations—and apply your learning in your classroom using a lesson plan we have created.
This course is hosted in an online learning platform called CatCat. You will need to create an account in CatCat and then you can start the course here. You do not need to specifically enroll in the course. Registration is free!
