Since the pandemic hit schools in March 2020, Tech & Learning has hosted weekly Lunch ‘n Learn webinars with Kecia Ray. Since that time, school leaders have turned to this series to get crucial advice from their peers to help them navigate the challenges - and successes - school districts have experienced over this past year.

Below is just a sampling of the topics covered in this series:
- Why Active Learning is More Crucial Than Ever: Dr. Kecia Ray talked with a panel of experts about the research that confirms the efficacy of active learning in the areas of math, literacy, and social-emotional learning, and offered practical strategies that school leadership teams can put into place to make the most of active learning.
