It's not just teachers who are giving their all right now, but Supers, Admin, and all Staff are really giving their best to make sure students needs are met. I appreciate what every educator is doing for their team!
Students need words of affirmation, but this fall teachers, staff, and admin are all going to need them. So, focus on building strong relationships and building each other up. It is going to take a team effort to build a positive school culture.
Differentiation is not just about academic needs, but also relational needs. Some students need to vent, encouragement, a hug or even a push to excel. These are as important as academic needs. Education is relational after all.

The conversations we’re having now about school — connections over content, closing equity gaps, deepened family involvement — are the conversations we’ve always needed to have.
THIS should be education from here on.
Schools, as we begin week three. Remember We have increasing cases of the virus. We have increased number of unemployment claims. We still have shortages at grocery stores. Higher stress & depression among children & adults. Let’s fill the GAP w/ Love

We see things through a filter. We see situations in a way that protects our opinions & behavior.
Therefore, here is one of life’s most important disciplines: Press pause and see life with clarity and courage. Remove the filters that screen out realities you don’t want to see.
