edWeb.net is excited to announce that Varsity Tutors for Schools will sponsor and spearhead Tutoring for Schools, a free professional learning community on edWeb that supports tutors, teachers and district administrators by equipping them with an online community of experts, resources and a series of edLeader Panels exploring the biggest tutoring issues facing schools today.
Equitable learning involves getting education where needed, even if students need help to reach their primary school destination. According to district leaders during the edLeader Panel, “How Mobile Learning Labs Are Supporting Hard-to-Reach Students,” the education system ensures that students have the support necessary for their educational growth.
