All Sessions by Emma Kate Fittes

  • Day 1 - June 7

    Tuesday

  • 01:30  - 02:20
    Many districts were forced to switch to online PD for safety reasons during the pandemic. Will districts continue to use virtual PD, now that they’ve ramped up their experiences with it? Or are they returning to face-to-face training and support, because they see it as more engaging for teachers? We get the perspective of district officials, and look at what EdWeek Market Brief surveys say about the pace of the in-person to online transition.
    Panel Discussion

  • Day 2 - June 8

    Wednesday

  • 01:01  - 01:25
    How can companies provide support for school systems during the era of “The Great Resignation?” We talk with a leader of one of the largest districts in the country – superintendent Jesus Jara of the Clark County Schools in Nevada – about how his system is grappling with turnover, and what’s ahead.
    Flash Briefing

  • Day 3 - June 9

    Thursday

  • 01:20  - 02:10
    School districts across the country are using assessments to try to gauge student academic setbacks, and recovery, during COVID. Going into next school year, what does the fabric of classroom, diagnostic, interim, and benchmark tests look like in individual school districts – and where do high-stakes, summative tests still fit in the mix?
