The conference kicked off with a dynamite presentation by Dr. Doug Fisher, co-author of the 2020 Corwin Press “The Distance Learning Playbook, Grades K-12,” and concluded with a lively and informative panel discussion with our three 2020 CAS Principals of the Year! In between, we heard from several expert speakers and panelists who are passionate about connecting, caring for and engaging all of Connecticut’s students.
