Event Details

Brainfuse is excited to present our learning focused workshop with Dr. Danny Diaz, Ed. D.,  the director of the UCLA History-Geography project. Join Brainfuse HelpNow, Dr. Diaz, and Fox River Valley Public Library District for a free online workshop addressing COVID related learning loss on Tuesday, September 14 at 7 p.m. With all the conversations about the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on “learning loss,” how can parents manage their stresses and fears in order to provide the kind of support our youth need at this moment? Drawing on his experiences in education and recent research, Danny Diaz will discuss how we can best address concerns around learning loss.
