1) Have pride. (Work hard at everything you do.)

2) Be Kind. (You never know when your words or actions can lift the spirit of another.)

3) Do the right thing. (Be a person of integrity.)

This is what I talked to our students about today. These are our expectations.

Emergency remote teaching vs. #onlinelearning... interesting insight from the post-secondary realm. Thanks @addieloy for the thought-provoking read.

Every kid you teach loves something. They are interested in something. They are nervous about something. They are good at something.

I wonder what that something is.

A friend said it feels like Mother Nature told us to go to our rooms & think about what we've done! If we use #COVID19 to re-establish parts of our lives we've been forced to adjust & keep the good (more home cooking, reading & walks, less cars) that would be a #silverlining.

I've just hit publish on a MEGA guide to teaching online due to #schoolclosures #COVIDー19

So many examples, tips, + tools. Plus a checklist to help plan for a school closure.

Please share with anyone who may find it helpful!
