REGION 10 SOCIAL STUDIES SUPPORT

May 2020 - Remote Learning Edition

You've Almost Made It!

As you wind down to the end of the year, please take time to reflect on a job well-done. You have successfully navigated a historic and unprecedented time. Many of you have shifted your practice in ways you may not have ever envisioned. You have transitioned to some form of virtual or remote learning, maintained connections with your students and have done so with grade and compassion. Your students know this, as do their parents.

As we transition to the summer months, please take time to refresh, renew and reset.

In an effort to continue to provide support for you, Region 10 will be conducting much of our summer professional development virtually. Stay tuned for more information regarding summer professional development.

Please do not hesitate to ever reach out with questions, concerns, ideas or training needs.
