4 ways schools can prepare for the future of e-learning

Learn how one district is prioritizing student learning by focusing on strengthening its approach to e-learning

The pandemic has struck the education system especially hard as schools had to swiftly adjust operations to fit within a remote learning environment. Now, as many schools take the summer months to map out a plan and prepare for the start of a new school year come September, administrations are working to find the most successful and efficient ways to adopt learning models that can accommodate an extended period of e-learning.

For schools that are addressing a shift to e-learning for the first time, it may feel overwhelming trying to successfully implement a learning model that answers your district’s needs. Despite this uncharted territory in which schools find themselves, it is important to highlight that there are steps to take that will help navigate this changing landscape and ensure that no student has to feel the weight of this crisis.
