When educators and their students are fearful or troubled, it is a challenge to teach and even harder to learn. Helping students get comfortable and stay focused in 2020 required building a strong community. Here is what we did at Virtual Harmony to develop our skills and celebrate life. This session features the joys of informal learning and playful spaces that strengthen the spirit. Share your stories during the session.
