Upcoming: Webinar #4, Getting the Most from the Marshall Memo -- Presented by Kim Marshall, on Tuesday, October 19th, 2021, 6:30pm IST
Every week, Kim Marshall reads and skims about 150 articles from a wide range of publications and chooses 8-10 that are most relevant for K-12 educators and families. He then writes a short summary of each and sends the Marshall Memo to subscribers around the world. In this webinar, Kim will describe how the Memo got started 18 years ago, how it's evolved, and how you can put it to best use.
