This Week’s Resources To Support Teachers Coping With School Closures

 

I have a number of regular weekly features (see HERE IS A LIST (WITH LINKS) OF ALL MY REGULAR WEEKLY FEATURES).

It’s time for a new addition to that list, and this post introduces a weekly compilation of new and good resources to support those of us dealing with school closures.

Some will be added to The Best Advice On Teaching K-12 Online (If We Have To Because Of The Coronavirus) – Please Make More Suggestions! and the best will go to The “Best Of The Best” Resources To Support Teachers Dealing With School Closures.
