    Rebecca, a science teacher in Florida, says she is confident that her students will be able to adapt and thrive in this year’s new hybrid learning environment without having to sacrifice quality of education.

    "The first lab of the year is my 'Science of Kindness' lab. Students learn that kindness, to themselves and others, starts a chemical reaction in their brains. I am a firm believer that positivity is contagious, laughter helps us learn, and challenges make us better." Rebecca Harvey // 6th Grade Teacher. Western Academy Charter School // FL

    Ashland District School continues to prioritize music education. Parts of their program required drastic overhaul to ensure lessons were effective in an engaging environment, including developing an alternating multi-course option for high school students.🎸🥁🎷🎼

    "Instead of thinking, 'It's too bad we can't do this,' we tried to fram it as, "how great is it that we get to this now?' We looked at our goals for each part of our Pre-K-12 curriculum and tried to identify ways to still reach these goals in a safe and engaging environment."
