DESCRIPTION
In times of crisis, schools need practical and straightforward guidance. Our communities are expected to be able to respond to an ever-increasing set of scenarios, from epidemics to natural disasters. This course provides administrators with the resources they need to create an educational continuity plan that works for their own community. With the guiding principles of simplicity and consistency, we’ll help you consider the key questions to ensure you’re creating a plan that addresses student learning, faculty support, and course resources. We’ll also help you develop the guidelines to roll out your plan effectively to stakeholders. We focus on what you can do right now to ensure that you can continue to provide mission-aligned education to your community, and help you think about what this means for the future.
COURSE FORMAT
Administrators will be guided through a one-week long, online course. You should know that this course will take about four hours to complete. This course is run asynchronously, so there is no fixed time when you must participate online, however you must complete coursework within the week.

Throughout the course, participants will connect and collaborate with each other through interactive media, including short videos and discussion boards.
