"Continuity of Learning Plan" Resources

On Thursday, April 2, 2020, the Governor of Michigan issued Executive Order 2020-35 suspending “in-person K-12 instruction for the remainder of the 2019-202 school year” and requiring all districts in the state to implement a “Continuity of Learning and COVID-19 Response Plan” for providing alternative modes of instruction other than in-person instruction.” Implementation of this plan must begin on or before April 27, 2020. Across the state, education leaders are working to draft equitable plans that meet the needs of all students despite a wide range of student access and district capacity.

The clear bright spot in our current situation is the vast amount of innovation coming out of educational institutions across the nation. Every person in education is trying something new right now in an effort to do the best they can.

Below is a list of resources representing just a fraction of what is flying across my computer screen each day. I provide these resources, frankly, for myself to keep track of what I’m finding.
