Georgia – Hybrid Logistics, Secrets of Motivation, & Leading thru New Digital Learning Experience Standards

This virtual event is free to all educators. The EduJedi Leadership Society and Learning Counsel News Media & Research are responding to School and District needs with regional virtual 2-day events to bring both nationally significant insights and foster togetherness with local leaders sharing.

Everyone responding to Learning Counsel surveys nationwide, over 27,000 educators from all levels and states, are concerned about defining what’s normal now. Concerns range from streamlining lesson planning to recapturing AWOL students to managing special needs remotely. The biggest two things were motivation and logistics.

85% of educators are concerned about Student Motivation as their key issue in hybrid learning.

70% of administrators are concerned about the logistics of time and space in hybrid schooling and what that does to teaching.

Learning Counsel has therefore put together special discussions centered around these two things primarily plus a much-needed new digital characteristics terms dictionary, and more.

LeiLani Cauthen, CEO & Publisher, Learning Counsel News Media & Research

Description: What are the best practices being used in moving to hybrid, the behind-the-scenes logistics? Interesting gaps have emerged that tech is rushing in to help. New ideas like deploying PODs (Parents Over Development) teacher- leaders for neighborhoods to limit large gatherings on campuses, disassembling class structure into independent and distributed multi-grade home-rooms, partitioned on a campus, with tech to intersect students with teachers via auto-cohorting based on personalized pace for live or virtual classes using layered automated calendars tied to curriculum maps, and more. From the “we’re doing it on spreadsheets,” to the high-end systems, America’s schools are committed to delivering on the learning promise. Find out what we’ve identified from numerous successful districts and schools, and what is yet to come now that hybrid and remote learning is here for all.
