Just like an in-person open house event at your local school, participants will come together as a large group to get some basic information about The Nora Project, our history, and our mission. Then, they’ll have the chance to choose a “room” to visit to learn more about specific programs and how that program can look at home or at school. We’ll be joined by experienced Nora Project teachers who will share their experiences and answer questions about what these programs are like in their own classrooms. After visiting two different “rooms,” participants will get to come back together for a Q&A before departing for the night.
Live captioning services will be provided for all sessions, and a digital program will be shared with participants with a clearly outlined agenda and directions for how to navigate seamlessly through different rooms. Participants are encouraged to share any additional accessibility needs in the RSVP.
