01.11 Diverse Learner Resource Roundup

Happy new year! I hope this finds you well. As we are all likely back at the virtual learning effort, I will continue to send resources that I hope you find relevant and practical. I’d love to hear from you what you’re looking for in the weeks coming. Have a wonderful week!

SHARED VISION: By May 2021, we can confidently say that our diverse learners have equitable access to high quality educational opportunities that inspire progress toward their individualized goals across learning environments.

As always, use what you need, when you need it. Comment below with how you’re putting these ideas to work, what you’ve found most useful, or where gaps continue to exist or show up.
