All NYC public school parents will be remote schooling this fall \u2013 either fully or hybrid. That\u2019s why I was excited to moderate an education forum for parents this past Sunday.

As many of my regular readers know, my husband Reggie and I oversee the \u201ccradle to campus\u201d portion of the church that we are a part of in Queens. A few of the parent leaders had a wonderful idea that we should host an education forum for parents to answer some of the questions surrounding the upcoming 2020\/2021 school year. They worked hard and the (remote) forum was really helpful. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The panelists (Dr. Shawn Brown, Lidia Jaramillo, Dr. Robin Murray-Edwards, Lashae Baugh, Claudia Becerra and Natalie Ford) were so knowledgeable. It was great to hear the various perspectives \u2013 including a principal, teachers (general education, ENL and IEP), a psychologist and a homeschooling expert \u2013 as the panelists answered questions that were submitted by parents. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The chat was lively also! Resources and suggestions mentioned in the chat can be found here<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although a lot of helpful information was shared, there are still several things that are question marks. Things are constantly changing \u2013 especially here in NYC. In fact, a friend notified me of this Facebook Live that took place earlier today. (In it, the NYC teachers\u2019 union speaks out about schools reopening plans.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
