Dear ERWC Educators,

We know these are challenging times for everyone involved in education, and we are working to provide support to you as you work to meet the needs of your students. In that spirit, the ERWC Steering Committee is offering two one-hour online sessions facilitated by Jen Roberts to help teachers make the adjustment to online teaching and learning. Jen is a high school teacher, Google for Education Certified Innovator, and the co-author of Power Up: Making the Shift to 1:1 Teaching and Learning.

We are also offering two sessions facilitated by Chris Street, Professor of Secondary Education at CSU Fullerton, and Lori Campbell, English Teacher at Kern High School District.

All sessions are free of charge.To protect the integrity of our ERWC curriculum, and prevent unhelpful session crashers, we are asking you to register in advance for the sessions.

Session One: Friday, April 10, at 3:00 PM PDT – Chris Street and Lori Campbell

Exploring the ERWC Online Community WebSite, with a Focus on Teaching ERWC in Virtual Classrooms

In this one-hour session you will be guided through the ERWC Online Community website. Many new modules and resources have been recently posted, and this overview will introduce you to all of these new features. Particular attention will be paid to Focus on Teaching ERWC in Virtual Classrooms, a recently uploaded resource that is designed to help you teach ERWC in online settings.

Sessions will be recorded and posted in the ERWC online community.

#ERWC Slow Twitter Chat

For those of you on Twitter, we also invite you to join a slow Twitter chat happening now using the #ERWC hashtag. You can search that tag at any time to find the question of the day and contribute or ask a question at any time that is convenient for you.

We hope you will join us through any of these initial online sessions, and/or via the #ERWC hashtag as we come together as a community to support each other through this challenging period of history.
