Preparing for Remote Teaching
How to improve communication, participation, and differentiation
3-Hour On-Demand Workshop
One thing that successful educators share in common is their commitment to planning. Whether this commitment is focused on classroom setup, curriculum, instruction, or even holiday parties, teachers know that success comes from having a solid plan.
During the COVID era, however, planning for all the variables of remote teaching can seem like a daunting task. But with the practical and concrete strategies shared during this workshop, teachers can tackle remote teaching with confidence.
During this 3-hour virtual workshop for K-12 teachers, participants will learn key ingredients and essential strategies to make their remote teaching more organized, focused, and effective.

Meet Kristina

Kristina Smekens
President & Lead Consultant
Kristina has a gift for making the complex seem simple—for showing teachers how to meet the needs of readers and writers by bridging the gap between education research and practical, classroom-tested strategies that work. When she presents at state and national conferences, teachers flock to her sessions because they know Kristina will share strategies they can use in their own classrooms the very next day.
Beyond providing teachers with practical classroom techniques, Kristina is also a master of motivation. By demonstrating enthusiasm for innovation, she helps educators find the encouragement they need to return to their classrooms and execute change.
