We are fast approaching the THIRD school year of dealing with COVID. THIRD. There are incoming second grade students who started school in 2019 who have never experienced school without the presence of COVID. Patience… compassion… and grace are more important than ever.

A1 Be available and be open to new ideas and let them suggest and create. Spend a whole day in their "shoes" and experience it from their viewpoint - whether virtual, F2F or hybrid. #MLDSchat

As building leader, how are you helping your teachers focus on relationships first? Grant them permission to do NO content work for the first few weeks so they believe they can just do people work.... #MLDSChat

Q3: Focus on relationships FIRST before worrying about a syllabus, a book, an assignment, etc. The kids (and everyone) are fragile right now...RELATIONSHIPS. Show you care! #MLDSChat

Q2: I urge educators to go slow to go fast. Don't worry about content coverage - focus on the SEL of the students. Check in frequently. How are you doing? What is going well? What would help? #mldschat

A3: How do we meet the needs of ALL families in terms of health, safety and delivery of a quality learning experience ? #MLDSchat How is it one district can be completely virtual and 5 miles away totally in person 5 days a week?

A2: So important to model vulnerability and to show that we are in this together. Being confident is not the same thing as knowing everything. #MLDSChat

A3: Let's think outside the box and go down the innovation pathway in how we can use our parents....have some on-line classes for them? Allow them to zoom in for project presentations? Weekly zoom parent tours of the classrooms and schools??? #MLDSChat

Connections are VITAL to our kids. They are a basic need. So critical we think outside of the box and help all of our kids feel like they matter and they have a voice - even virtually! @MLDSchat
