As our transition from crisis teaching to distance learning comes to fruition, it is more critical than ever to organize virtual instruction with a clear set of learning intentions, success criteria, and instructional guidelines. Utilizing what educators everywhere have learned over the course of pandemic teaching, we can now improve our overall strategy to adapt to any and every environment and promote effective Distance Learning.
The Distance Learning live, virtual workshops support educators in building both our students' capacity (and our own) for distance learning through the application of Visible Learning® research. Each professional learning day will focus on the exploration of learning intentions and associated success criteria.

The return to schooling for the 2020-21 school year is proving to be unlike any other we have witnessed. With the crisis teaching of spring 2020 behind us, we are now truly utilizing distance learning, whether fully or in hybrid models, to get on with schooling. The Going Deeper with Distance Learning institutes extend the foundational work established in the Distance Learning Playbook to bring forward the latest in effective practice in virtual spaces. Sessions will have special focus on partnering with parents as well as incorporating the best practices for Visible Learning and Distance Learning into our everyday work.
