In 2020 and 2021, educators took on new challenges as they learned to be virtual or blended-classroom teachers. Now that leader surveys and recent reports suggest online learning is here to stay, it’s time to invest in expert-led professional learning to equip teachers with the skills they need to be successful in leading online learning.

• Prioritizing standards and providing clear learning goals
• Utilizing experimental inquiry and investigation tasks
• Providing timely, targeted, and actionable feedback
