NEWS: EdCan Network – Learning our Way out of the Pandemic: Beyond “back to normal” for students

 

Sign up for our upcoming EdCan webinar

Presented by EdCan and IPEVO

 

Wednesday, May 19 at 1pm ET on Zoom | One-hour webinar

Presented by Karen Mundy and Kelly Gallagher-Mackay

 

Like so many families and children around the world, Canadians are looking with relief to a more open, carefree summer and normal return to school later this year. But after 18 months of profound disruption – will “normal” be good enough? Are we on track to set all children up for success in a world that often seems more uncertain – and unequal – than ever before?

This webinar, sponsored by online learning toolmaker IPEVO, will examine how Canadian schools have fared during COVID-19 compared to those in other jurisdictions. We then turn to evidence-based ways that educators can ensure a better, stronger, and more equitable start in September 2021.
