Families Learning from Families Virtual Roundtable Series:
The Pandemic a Year Later and Beyond—Resources and Advice in Support of Diverse Families
Families Learning from Families Virtual Roundtables are dynamic, online learning experiences aimed at providing an opportunity for parents/caregivers with different backgrounds (i.e. families of Color, families with varied religious backgrounds, families with children with disabilities, families from disinvested communities, non-traditional families) to talk with and ask questions of an expert in family and community supports, and home-school partnerships. The aim of this discussion is to share ideas and resources related to supporting students and families during the COVID-19 pandemic.
