As the pandemic drags on, many children are struggling to sustain their stamina & optimism. While no one can (or should) have to be strong all of the time, adults CAN help bolster kids' resilience. In my new On Parenting article, I share seven strategies. washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/on-p…

A4: A personal PD is effective for me when I can take my own time (whether fast or slow) to complete it. I'm sure I don't feel alone in also thinking that a PD is better when I think it will improve how I am teaching, or if I'm invested in the topic. #EDLD510S21 #nearpodchat

A5: I think a PD is most effective when I can and DO implement it in my teaching and in my classroom. There have been many fun PDs I've been a part of, but some of them I haven't ever used... #EDLD510S21 #nearpodchat

A6: I love when I go to a PD and create new contacts with people who have similar ideas and new ideas. The friendships I've made are invaluable. Giving teachers the time to talk and create these relationships is important. #EDLD510S21 #nearpodchat

The 5T team at my school helping each other get ready for students to come back THIS week! 😆 We love helping build our school's learning culture with each other. Building relationships with teachers and students. 💕 #EDLD510S21 #CS1

Teachers at my school truly are amazing. The hours put in to learn how to teach with 3 screens, students live and virtual, and in a different classroom throughout the day is too many to count. Leaders find the time to learn and model for others to learn too. #EDLD510S21 #CS4

Success here at North Salisbury Elementary School comes from supporting the accomplishments and success of each other. We celebrated Kindness Week with a kindness board staff and students filled with kind words. #WeareNSS #ES5 #EDLD510S21

Made by students in our school, our school's goal is to spread kindness around the globe. We can't see the globe's smile (it's wearing a mask right now) but we see the impact it makes on everyone who walks in our school. Thank you NSS Students! #ES5 #EDLD510S21 #WeareNSS

As a science teacher, I know I love reading about famous scientists from around the world. I know my students love walking down this hall to read them too. Thank you TAD teachers at NSS for creating this and teaching science to the whole school! #ES5 #EDLD510S21 #WeAreNSS

I love that my school and county support every student I teach. It's shown here at NSS with even the simplest things like our new COVID signs to remind students to wear their masks correctly. Thank you NSS for diversifying and celebrating all students! #WeAreNSS #ES5 #EDLD510S21
