ISTELive 21: Working Toward Digital Equity and Social-Emotional Learning in K–12
After a year of online and hybrid instruction for many districts, school leaders must not lose sight of the work they’ve done in support of digital equity when students return to the classroom. There are still ways to improve learning environments to best support students. Social-emotional learning will continue to be vital as students process the difficulties of the past year. We spoke with ISTE authors Jessica Pack and Julia Torres about how educators can provide support to the students who need it most.
