Managing change can be a challenge for school divisions. The coronavirus pandemic and subsequent interruption to in-person learning was one of the most difficult changes K-12 education has ever faced and required quick adjustments in approach for school divisions across the globe. The Virtual Classroom project focused on the process to evaluate and implement a videoconferencing tool that enabled Henrico County Public Schools (HCPS) to support a seamless transition of teaching and learning from a physical in-person classroom to a virtual platform in a safe and secure environment.
