At this meeting, we heard CSU Updates on Fieldwork Requirements as well as School Reopening Plans in the state.  We also covered a new project, the Canvas Commons Project for EDUC Fieldwork Courses.  Attendees were asked to bring resources to share for high quality alternatives to in-person fieldwork to share in breakout sessions. Breakout sessions were arranged by grade level or topic including TK-3, 4-5, 6-8, 9-12 and a group for best practices related to online access and equity, with attendees selecting the breakout room of their choice.
