In collaboration with the Connecticut State Department of Education and public education advocates the Center for Public Research and Leadership at Columbia University has developed guidance to support districts in creating equitable, high-quality, and culturally responsive and sustaining remote learning available to all children, no matter what their home situation and their education and language needs.
In response to the possibility that public health data may require remote learning for the 2020-21 school year, this resource draws directly on comprehensive research into best practices of how districts and schools met the challenges and opportunities posed by the spring 2020 transition to remote learning.
CEA President Jeff Leake and AFT CT President Jan Hochadel said, “Educators did a phenomenal job moving to remote learning in March without warning or training, and kept their students engaged and learning. At CEA and AFT Connecticut, we expect many schools will need to reopen on a hybrid or fully remote learning schedule in order to protect the health of students, teachers, staff and their families. We welcome the input of Columbia University regarding high-quality, equitable, and safe remote learning for our state’s students, with enhanced support for students and training for educators.”
