Are you an educator? Has the pandemic challenged you to teach in new ways? Join the Teaching Remotely CORE Deposit Party, 26–30 July, an asynchronous event during which teachers can learn, share, and support each other.

You are invited to upload syllabi, assignments, blog posts, and conference presentations related to teaching and learning during the pandemic to the CORE repository and share them with the Teaching Remotely group. In addition, throughout the week we will highlight daily topics to spark conversation in the group’s discussion forum. The event's goal is to foster collective resource sharing to help teachers navigate the current moment and build for the future.

For more information, read about the event, join the Teaching Remotely group, and learn more about CORE.
