During this rapidly evolving situation around COVID-19, we feel the urgency of all of us working together for student success. This is something that as an instructional assistant, you have already been doing on a daily basis. However, during the past few weeks all of us have had to shift how we teach, learn, support, and work with each other. The goal of this one hour module is to share a few articles and videos to support you as you shift to your “changing” role…supporting teachers and students in the midst of remote teaching in the virtual classroom. Candie Sellers will be your facilitator. If you have questions please contact her at csellers@wresa.org

This one hour module will familiarize you with some of the unique aspects of teaching and working with the boys in our classrooms. Though boys are more similar to girls than not, there are some differences that if we are aware of, can be useful to understand in our classrooms. Many boys are not having the success we want them to have and the more we know about meeting their needs the better! April Spencer will be your facilitator.
