Educational resources for parents and teachers: Learning from home
Dr. Susan Taffer, a global educator and humanitarian, and Founder of World Connections Foundation , a Global Friend, recently spoke at a virtual GWPN Forum on the topic of “Crisis in Education”. The informative presentation highlighted some of the issues that parents and teachers are facing now around the country as schools have adapted to the reality of Covid-19 and many moved to start the school year virtually.
Wanting to support parents and teachers in this challenging time, Dr. Taffer has shared with WFWP a list of helpful educational resources and websites, which we have listed below:
