ABSTRACT

The closure of schools due to Covid-19 and the resulting transition to home-based learning for children throughout the world left educators in despair about curricular goals, the limitations of technology and the wellbeing of their students. It was also an unprecedented opportunity for reinventing connection with families. The authors provided a series of free webinars using the Conversations Worth Having framework to support home-school connections through the principles of Appreciative Inquiry.
