FREE Resources to Support Remote Learning for the 2020-2021 School Year

Six months ago, many of us had never heard of COVID-19 or even used Zoom or Google Meet to conduct a meeting. Now, these words are a part of our everyday vocabulary—in our personal and professional lives. While the world around us continues to change, our commitment to you—Ohio’s educators—remains the same. And that is to provide you with the structures and resources necessary to develop and support effective leadership at every level—especially during this pandemic.

With all of the uncertainty facing back-to-school and educating and supporting Ohio’s educators and students, effective leadership has never been more important. It is absolutely necessary to move us forward. While we don’t have a crystal ball to predict the next few months—we wish we did—we remain committed to connecting Ohio’s superintendents, principals, teachers, and other personnel to free, research-based resources to support their efforts to positively impact Ohio’s schools and students.

We have curated resources from OLAC’s site, along with resources from our education partners across the state. The resources are organized around topics that Ohio educators identified as areas of need to support for the 2020-2021 school year. From modules and videos to webinars, toolkits, and more, we are pleased to share these free resources with you.
