Dear Edutopia Friend, This school year will be unlike any we have seen before, and the health and safety of everyone is foremost in our minds. Edutopia educators are some of the most innovative, dedicated leaders in education, and that has never been clearer than over the past few weeks and months. Simply put, we are in awe of your resilience and flexibility as you seek to support students’ learning and development during this public health crisis and beyond. On our end, the Edutopia team has been working hard to bring you timely stories about remote learning and teaching, new academic and mental health models, research on how students learn best, and more. As the content on Edutopia.org grows, we've created a new way to help you discover the information you need: Simply tell us the grade level you work with, and we'll customize your weekly newsletter to highlight stories worth knowing about. There is no doubt that the next few months will present new and unprecedented challenges, and we hope this new feature (and more to come!) will help you stay connected to relevant information during the 2020-21 school year. Edutopia’s mission is to serve as a free, trusted resource to all who seek to improve preK-12 education. We welcome your suggestions on what content you’d like us to cover and what you think of our new customized weekly email. If you have a great practice or resource to share, we’d also love to hear about it. You can contact us via Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, or email. As always, thank you for all you do. Take good care, Cindy Johanson Executive Director, Edutopia @cinjo |
