Back to School: Thriving in the First 30 Days

Back to school can be a blur. New students, new parents, new colleagues — maybe you’re in an entirely new position, teaching a new subject, or even at a new school. It’s an exciting time, but it also has the potential to get a little chaotic or overwhelming.

This webinar can help. You’ll create a back-to-school action plan that covers your physical space (classroom, office, etc.), relationships with students and families, and an instructional roadmap. Whether you’re a new teacher or have years of experience, this session can help you start the year on a positive note.

Tuesday, July 21 | 2 p.m. EDT
