Building a Thriving Remote Classroom with Dr. Tyrone Howard

In response to an LA Times reporter’s question about how teachers are adapting to remote learning, Dr. Tyrone Howard responded, “Teachers’ relationships with students before the closures could affect whether some show up. The ones best able to take lessons online already had strong relationships with their students and their families.” In this episode, Dr. Howard speaks about the transformative effect of remote learning on relational trust, equity, empathy and inclusivity. This was a powerful, casual discussion centered on Dr. Howard's unapologetic belief that Spring 2020 should be explored and researched for its unique opportunity to stress relational teaching over curricular and instructional achievement.
