A Principal's Reflections

AUGUST 16, 2020

The past couple of months have been challenging for educators, to say the least. However, in the midst of it all, there have been opportunities to take a critical lens to practice in the efforts to effectively pivot to a remote world and successfully implement hybrid learning models in the near term.

With the shift to remote learning, schools became increasingly reliant on learning management systems, a central hub for teaching and learning resources. An LMS makes it easier for educators to bring their classrooms online. It also gives them the flexibility to switch between in-person and remote learning.
