As COVID-19 continues to spread, school closings across the U.S. are creating uncertainty and challenges for many students and families.
This impact is magnified for low-income students of color who are most at risk of losing access to high-quality instruction and teacher support.
To help teachers and school leaders as they navigate this crisis, we compiled a list of helpful resources over the last week from our partners working in K-12 education, including tips for providing equitable access to learning materials, free curriculums for virtual classrooms and information on how school systems are responding.
We hope you find these helpful as you adapt your instructional methods to meet today’s shifting realities. We will continue to update this list as new resources become available. If you have a useful resource to share, please send it our way.
