S7 Episode 11: PD in 30 Creating an Inclusive Classroom Community

03/26/20 • 30 min

How do you build classroom community, even while teaching remotely?

In this PD in 30 segment, Hannah Jones, NBCT, assistant technology specialist in Madison School District, and Leah Clark, English language arts teacher in Glendale Union High School District, dive into how to create an inclusive classroom community and what that can look like right now as schools are closed because of COVID-19.
