The Governor has announced relaxed masking requirements in VA. However, students, staff and visitors in all school buildings are required to wear masks for the remainder of the year.
Couple things that struck me today:
Be adoptable
Listen to understand
This is no time for perfection
Safety and well-being are more important than academics- right now
With no mandates educators are doing right for kids and families
School is NOT closed for the year. The building is. If you listen closely you can hear the hum of hard working teachers, administrators, and support staff preparing to save the day in ways and means never seen before. Yes, we are brokenhearted, but these broken hearts will lead
There is no average time to learn something. "I will not only allow but will encourage students to redo assignments and tests for full credit" @rickwormeli2
@Maire_from_NJ This makes me angry. Are these people kidding?
An assistant superintendent once told me, wisely, "It's not like they're sending their second-best kid to school and keeping the best one home to themselves."
Any take other than "they're doing the best they can" is wrong.
I wholeheartedly agree with that statement. I have often used the same words with our admin team and our entire staff. Parents send us the best they have every day!

Fuente is a coach that demands 100% out of his players every day. I don’t think that makes it a toxic environment at all, and to be honest I wouldn’t want to play for a coach that would settle for less. If you’re not 100% in then get 100% out of the program
Titles don’t make LEADERS... ACTIONS do!
Administrators, teachers, or students - it doesn’t matter.
It takes ACTION to make a collective difference that can be felt like a shock wave of positive CHANGE in our classrooms and schools!
