Teacher and Professional Development Junior/Senior High School Research-Oriented Short Presentation
Shifting an Entire High School to Emergency Remote Teaching in 24 Hours
This presentation outlines what was learned as my preparations for a year of research into establishing a small professional learning community (PLC) to retain tech knowledge were altered over a 24-hour period when the COVID lockdown was announced. Suddenly I was standing up with administration as the entire school was forced to join my tiny PLC and we rode the wave into Google Classroom as an LMS, developing online conferences and interactions for our students.
