Kathryn Kigera '08, Director of Quality Initiatives in Early Learning at the DC Office of the State Superintendent of Education, joins Beyond the Valley to talk about how parents and educators can best manage their distance learning efforts while classes remain online or shift into hybrid forms.

Kathryn talks about her own path from SVSU to Washington D.C., best practices for reinforcing curricula and how families and educators can work together to maintain the important relationships children have with their teachers and schools.
