These leaders will share how they moved quickly to keep students engaged in learning during the transition to virtual instruction. Join us for an interactive panel conversation to hear about: Infrastructure each district implemented prior to 2020 that helped create a smoother switch to home-based learning, Creative ways these leaders and their teams used existing district resources in new capacities, Lessons learned during the spring semester and what they plan to do differently in the fall, Actions districts are taking now to prepare for the upcoming school year

On this episode of UEN PDTV, Michael travels up to North Logan to visit a computer science class at Green Canyon High School. Alison Ence, a computer science teacher, is learning with her students about the vast capabilities of virtual and augmented reality. Her students are not only using VR in the classroom, but coding VR in the classroom. We find out that limitations don’t exist in this field beyond the scope of your own imagination.

UEN Homeroom

Welcome to UEN Homeroom. This podcast is UEN’s chance to tell your stories and talk about the issues impacting Utah’s amazing teachers. We plan to feature educators and leaders from across the state of Utah in a fun and informative bi-monthly podcast.

Jared and Dani are continuing the Back to School series this week by talking with Rachel Fletcher, a school counselor at the Salt Lake Center for Science Education. As we discussed the need for schools to address the social and emotional needs of student and staff, we also covered the following topics: how we can help students, teachers, and parents who are dealing with anxiety related to schools opening, what types of supports can schools provide for students who need to share their feelings about COVID related issues and what role schools can play to help provide a safe space for all.
