Thank you #CASEChat this was so helpful to know we are not alone in NC wrestling with these issues. I am going to replicate this model! Let's do it again.

@hpeine I would have teachers and parents amend IEPs to add a contingency plan for closure. #CASEChat

[Mary Todd Allen @mtallen_ec]

@hpeine How to return to school without an overwhelming amount of work for teachers to bring us back into compliance. We need waivers and we need them now to relieve my stress!

[Mary Todd Allen @mtallen_ec]

@hpeine Q5. I have learned to trust my staff and my own judgment. "Do Something" is not much help when you don't know what to do! #CASEChat

[Mary Todd Allen @mtallen_ec]

@kdruben Q4. Also created OneDrive folders for teachers to upload documents that will need to b/c part of students confidential folder when we return to school. #CASEChat

[Mary Todd Allen @mtallen_ec]

@kdruben We are using Microsoft Teams as a virtual Except. Children office a place where teachers and admins. come for PD, Q/A, meetings etc. #CASEChat

[Mary Todd Allen @mtallen_ec]

I miss the everyday rhythm of normalcy. Driving in, saying hello to the receptionist etc. #CASEChat

Families were more responsive the 1st 2 wks. They are starting to drop out of sight now. #CASEchat

@SwansonSPEDTalk Jaylee can you provide an example learning menu?

[Mary Todd Allen @mtallen_ec]

Priority #1 means paying close attention to my teachers and therapist to make sure that the things I ask of them are important and necessary. #CASEchat
