Students - and parents, family members and caregivers supportingchildren during the new school year - are facing new opportunities and uniquechallenges. This holds for educators, as well. Fortunately, as the pandemiccontinues to grow and evolve, Ohioand the federal government have stepped up. Help for the K-12 STEM/giftedcommunity is especially welcome:      “Because manyquality partnerships already existed between schools, families and thecommunity, schools and districts led collaborative efforts to address thetransition to learning at home, ensuring support for children’s social andemotional needs and additional supports for school meals, health and safetywere in place. The education community and its partners are committed toreaching each child and every family duringthe 2020-2021 school year.     ”Schooldistricts across Ohioare currently delivering remote, hybrid or in-person instruction, based uponlocally determined reset and restart plans. The Ohio Department of Educationrecognizes the increased role parents and caregivers now play in their child’sdaily educational experience. It’s clear that families are balancing many oftheir own changes and challenges – assisting their children with remotelearning, working from home, navigating the impacts of COVID-19 and taking careof other daily needs.” To these ends, check this guidance on instruction andlearning: RESOURCES: STEM Innovation SpotlightsFrom the U.S.Department of Education Office of Educational Technology      Information,resources, publications and videos on STEM learning for distance instruction.https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://tech.ed.gov/stem/__;!!KGKeukY!hPBBAHk2LShHt_tMrQbAH0EJRiqSZt8w9aUOfV3aKKieS6sM2sDmY9QVIGH1r4JgdSKj$  Resource Guide for Families and CaregiversFrom the Ohio Department of Education     The gamut of revised,state-approved information on all aspects of distance learning in Ohio.https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://education.ohio.gov/Topics/Reset-and-Restart/Resource-Guide-for-Families-and-Caregivers__;!!KGKeukY!hPBBAHk2LShHt_tMrQbAH0EJRiqSZt8w9aUOfV3aKKieS6sM2sDmY9QVIGH1ryLECu06$  Parent and Family Digital Learning GuideFrom the U.S.Department of Education     Information and guidanceon all aspects of learning at home, especially helpful for parents andcaregivers.https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://tech.ed.gov/publications/digital-learning-guide/parent-family/__;!!KGKeukY!hPBBAHk2LShHt_tMrQbAH0EJRiqSZt8w9aUOfV3aKKieS6sM2sDmY9QVIGH1r2R19BH1$
