Let’s Get Ready to Pivot!
OVERVIEW
This webinar is part two in a two part webinar series called Preparing to Pivot: Engaging Students in Online and Blending Learning in Uncertain Times.
Preparing to pivot is not just a state of mind. Teachers need practical tools to support their decision making process and become adaptive to our ever-changing educational landscape. How can we ensure all students achieve English language learning outcomes in different learning environments? We can differentiate online learning for students by encouraging choice and personalization in their Place, Time, Pace, and Path of learning. This webinar will show you how to personalize the online learning space that will not only help you get ready to pivot, but also make sure your English learners are ready to pivot too!
