Resources for Preparing for the Fall - This spring and summer, we've led over 800 academic leaders through our Academic Leadership for Hybrid Learning course. Along the way, we've learned a bit about what leaders are concerned about this summer as we prepare for the fall. We also asked participants to share their favorite resources that they turn to when seeking insights. This recording is of One Schoolhouse's July 15, 2020, Academic Leaders webinar on insights from your colleagues and we'll share some of those resources that can help.
