Teleconference Call

The Alliance for Excellent Education will host a webinar on “Planning for Progress in Digital Learning: Introduction to Introduction to Academic Supports,” the fifth in its series of webinars for Project 24. The Project 24 planning framework examines the extent to which academic supports include the context, culture, and learning environments that are provided with the intent of advancing and deepening student learning. These supports include both the formal structures within the school day, and the informal structures that may extend learning beyond the typical school day on school grounds or beyond into the home and community. Digital communications, online communities, and digital learning environments often serve as connectors across these structures. The panelists will provide insight into how they approach the role of academic support in digital learning from the perspectives of a superintendent, chief information technology officer, principal, and educator, and discuss: including expectations for learner-centered environments; community engagement and outreach; the digital learning environment; parental communication and engagement; and the role of collaboration and teamwork.
