When Governor Northam made the announcement that schools would be closed for the remainder of the academic year, educators realized that virtual learning would now be the new normal for awhile. Virginia Ed Strategies would like to acknowledge the dedication and commitment of the innovative educators around our state who are working tirelessly to support their students while also dealing with their own families.
In an effort to help educators as they navigate through these uncertain times, we have compiled a list of some helpful resources to support teachers and administrators in adapting to a remote work environment, teaching online, and collaborating virtually. We hope these resources will be helpful as we transition into new ways of teaching and learning.

- Understanding the Impact of Coronavirus on K-12 Education – webinar series

Virginia Ed Strategies will continue to support educators as we deal with the challenging weeks and months ahead of us. We are all in this together as we strive to make sure that our Commonwealth’s schoolchildren continue to thrive academically and emotionally during these turbulent times.
