Bambi Betts (PTC)/TIE have curated resources and topics -International School Focus

As you will all know by now, the uncertainty regarding travel and social distancing has caused us to cancel all summer 2020 programs.   After thorough analysis, extensive surveys of trainers and participants,- and many tears- we determined NOT to move any of the summer programs to a virtual mode. We got a strong message- just too much compromise of our essential design principles.

But we will be with you this summer!  We have come up with a few ways to hopefully remain helpful to you, which we will announce right here through the PTCnet within the next week or two..  So stay tuned!

WHAT’S UP!

• With the help of our sister agency, TIE, we are keeping up with official school openings around the world. Click here to follow.

• We asked you what ONE THING we could do that might help you right now. Overwhelmingly you said: Curate and organize online learning resources. We did- and continue to add.
• We asked a bunch of international school kids about remote learning- take a listen!

CURRENT CONVERSATIONS…BY YOU!

• Here are collated responses from the most recent questions/topics you asked about here on the PTCnet19-20 COVID 19 Topics      Additional topics
