August 4, 2020 NeoSTEM Webinar with area education leaders
‘There is going to be a renaissance coming out of this’
– Eric Gordon, CEO of Cleveland Metropolitan School District
School leaders discuss needs for the 2020-2021 school year
What do you have to offer to support students, families and educators during the coming 2020-2021 school year?
This was the organizing question for NeoSTEM’s August 4 webinar featuring Eric Gordon, chief executive officer of the Cleveland Metropolitan School District; Mark Curtis, president of the Twinsburg Board of Education; Cynthia Booker, a local media teacher and Kasey Morgan, network manager of MyCom.
From simple encouragement for families to safe space where children can go when school buildings don’t open this fall, the panelists offered a variety of ways for the community to support learning needs of students throughout Northeast Ohio in the Fall.
