Educational Leadership: Successfully Taking Offline Classes Online
Teachers who have taught exclusively offline in a traditional school setting may find the transition to teaching online daunting and foreign. As educators navigate this new reality of school closures, social isolation, and remote learning, it's important to remember that education and learning encompass more than disseminating and collecting assignments. Learning, at its core, is a social endeavor. People learn through their interactions with each other and the world around them. Given the social nature of learning, educators who are moving their classes online must prioritize community building to ensure their students thrive online.

MORE INFORMATION
Create a safe, inclusive learning environment even with distance learning. When students feel like they are a part of a learning community, norms for working online, asking for support, and expressing yourself can be integrated into their day to day. This session will look at some general Dos and Don'ts for establishing a learning community in a blended, distance or virtual environment. Social presence is an important concept for the blended classroom because it has been shown to improve learning, interpersonal relationships, persistence, motivation, and satisfaction (Jusoff & Khodabandelou, 2009; Rovai, 2002; Tu, 2001).Effective Literacy Leadership for K-6 Principals
