 Next Week Culinary Town Hall #8 and TH#7 write-up

What a rollercoaster ride it has been for the start of the 2020 school year.  We have been faced with new challenges but collectively we have solutions.

Here is the recording from last week’s meeting where you all shared your challenges and creative ideas to overcome the limitations of Online and Hybrid learning while maintaining rigor and engagement.

KP Helps Teachers Navigate Online Teaching with Ease; First Month Into COVID-19 Lock-down
