The Virtual Culture and Climate Series will consist of bi-weekly live streaming sessions occurring every Monday and Friday at 12:00 noon EST via Jostens Renaissance Facebook and Twitter social media accounts. At the start of each week, Motivation Mondays will cover best practices for addressing the changing school needs as identified by educators throughout North America, and highlight a featured episode of The Harbor™. Motivation Mondays are designed for audiences consisting of educators, parents, and students.
Later each week, Graduation Fridays will be reserved for dialogue specific to commencement and graduation in the midst of the COVID19 crisis. Graduation Fridays are designed for a school administration audience.
“Our students need to connect with one another now more than ever. While we can’t make that happen in the traditional sense we can make it happen in their world – which is virtual,” said Dr. Chad Smith, principal of Powell High School, TN. “The power of Jostens Virtual Culture and Climate Series will help us and our students navigate a spring which will be unlike any other.”
Recaps and resources for all Virtual Culture and Climate Series sessions will be shared on JostensRenaissance.com for continuous reference and access.
