Don’t ask school leaders and teachers if they are happy to “have time off”. No, we are not happy and our hearts ache for our students. We want to be at school. We want to see our kids. We want to meet their needs. We want our normal back. #COVIDー19 #PrincipalLife #BetterTogether

Stop asking if we are going to hold kids back or institute mandatory summer school. All kids will advance next year and teacher, like they always do, will adjust instruction and curriculum to meet students where they are.

Could not have a better quote for our transition to distance learning. “The ability to simplify means to eliminate the unnecessary so that the necessary may speak”. Hans Hofmann. Hope we are all thinking about SEL, streamlined lessons and simplified instruction delivery to Ss.
