Based on Sari Beth Rosenberg's series, “Teaching in the Age of Coronavirus,” for PBS NewsHour Extra and Share My Lesson, Rosenberg will discuss how, against the backdrop of a global pandemic, she managed to engage many of her students in online learning. She will share best practices that include focusing on current events and civics—in particular, the civil rights movement, current events around criminal justice reform and police brutality as well as anti-racism. The importance of meeting students “where they are,” especially during remote learning, is crucial if we want to maintain continuity of instruction and connection with our students.
