In this episode, Cris Tovani and Michelle Jones explore the opportunity gap and the intricacies of remote learning as we discuss how the elements of the PEBC Teaching Framework support student engagement, equity, and understanding for each and every student. Cris shares valuable insights into the importance of planning with time, text, targets, tasks and tending in mind, the ways the thinking strategies support all students, and significance of building communities of learners that are emotionally and cognitively engaged. A portion of the podcast features a planning conversation in which Cris shares her ideas for an upcoming remote credit recovery course that she is hoping to teach this summer.
