The Connecticut State Department of Education (CSDE) is hosting a series of virtual conversations for parents and other caregivers who are managing children’s learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. This series is a follow-up to a statewide town hall on December 8th where over 400 attendees asked questions and offered comments and suggestions that were used to inform the sessions below.
This conversation series is tailored to families, but educators and community members are welcome to attend. You may register for any or all of the sessions.
After registering for each session, you will receive a confirmation e-mail containing information about joining the webinar. Sessions will be recorded and made available on the CSDE web site for those who are not able to attend in person. If you cannot attend but want to be notified when the recording is available, you can indicate that on the registration form.
Sessions will be recorded and posted online with closed captioning in English, Spanish, Portuguese, and Arabic. Everyone registered for any session in the series will receive notice when sessions are posted.
