Covid-19 has challenged L.A. Unified teachers to rethink, retool, and reapproach their teaching through a distance learning environment to meet the instructional and social emotional needs of their students. In this podcast, the Division of Instruction Secondary Literacy Team is talking with teachers to learn how they are rising to and embracing this challenge. Join the team as they learn how teachers have "gone virtual."
