"The reason many do not understand the 'heart work' going on in education is because educators have become famous for their silence.
We cannot hope for others to understand - hope is not a strategy.
Let’s do what we do best - educate" #TeachersDeserveIt @mradamwelcome
A6: I have already found better ways to communicate with parents and students. Video messages instead of long emails. We are focusing on connecting with students, we need to continue to do that every day in the classroom. #MasteryChat
A5: During this time it is important to help meet the basic human needs of the students. No pressure and consequences. Connect with the students, support them and just ask how they’re doing. #MasteryChat
A4: The emotional benefits are endless. We are social creatures, children even more so. They need to be seen and heard. Teachers can give them that opportunity. #MasteryChat
A3: Even if it’s not to teach content our students need us. For many kids school and the relationship with their teachers is the most stable thing in their lives. Not to mention I miss THEM! #MasteryChat
A2: I’ve been sending positive videos and creating opportunities for students to communicate and share with one another. I’m also reassuring parents that the kids know what they’re doing at home. #MasteryChat
