Senator Steve Glazer will hold a Virtual Town Hall on distance learning and what parents can do to help their children while schools are shut down by the Coronavirus/COVID-19 stay-at-home orders.
Working from home while trying to help your children keep up with their studies can be challenging, if not impossible. Even though most schools are now providing guidance to families, many parents with young children have told me they are struggling to keep their children engaged in these stressful times.
Senator Glazer’s guest will be Denise Pope, an author and lecturer at the Stanford Graduate School of Education. Pope is an expert on engaging students in their school work and has written extensively on academic stress and its consequences for students’ mental and physical health. She will share her list of tips that parents can use to make distance learning fun and productive.
You can listen to this event live on Senator Glazer’s website at https://sd07.senate.ca.gov/ beginning at 3 p.m. on Tuesday, April 14.
They have a limited number of listen-only telephone lines available at 844-291-5489. The access code is 8983204 #.
A recording will also be available after the program.
You may submit questions whether or not you intend to participate.

Cope from staying home? Lol pet safety? What a strong voter base he panders to. Only thing people really need is to get back to work hurry up and round up all the sick people and keep them away from everybody do your job and don’t try to find a way to spend more money on your yachts and luxury suites
OMG – thoughts and prayers to you.
Glazer needs to shut up. Stop pandering to the voters. He voted for illegal gun laws and to flood our streets with criminal illegal aliens. He is a criminal himself.
While I don’t have kids yet (I have strong Swimmers tho) I would never take advice from a politician on how to raise my child.
They are dishonest, misleading, divisive, have ulterior motives & enrich themselves…. regardless of Party.
You should be careful about making statements about “strong swimmers”:and not having children. People can put two and two together and even if their conclusion is incorrect, it will always be associated with you.
That went right over my head. Can you elaborate with specifics without dragging me?
Finally crawled out from under his desk did he ?
Lol.
Maybe he can tell our lazy teachers to get off their butts and hold virtual classes. Or maybe they should not get paid for just sitting at home.
Very few of the teachers I know are actually providing instruction. Kids are getting assignments that the parents have to figure out and teach themselves while oftentimes also holding down a full time job from home. As an educator, I’m ashamed of my colleagues. They need to step up and start actually teaching kids virtually not just passing the buck. (Yes there are some rock star teachers out there, but many have totally dropped the ball here.)
Pet safety? Coping with stress? Is he the same Steve Glazer that promised if elected he would take on BART and straighten them out? and take on special interest buying and bribing of politicians? Those were just more lies from another inept feckless California politician.
