The Spring of COVID-19

"Even the darkest clouds must eventually give way to the sun."

I has been a difficult and challenging time in education.

There was no lesson plan or training that prepared educators to deal with the consequences of a global pandemic such as COVID-19.

No staff development, or professional development, or college class, or credential program could have prepared administrators or teachers for what the state of education is today.

To have to abandon the educational structure so familiar to all.  It's scheduled calendar and class schedule in a school and classroom setting where social interaction is one of the key components of the students growth and development.

It has been indeed a dark time in education.

Nevertheless, educators did what educators do and have always done.

Educators have taken on the distance learning challenge and have manage to continue the education process for students and their parents.  They have elevated their lessons above the dark clouds for students to reach in the safety of their homes.

Educators have done their best to ensure that the class of 2020 is prepared for the challenges that they will face ahead as they continue on with their education and schools prepare for their return.

Thank You, Educators!

April 2020

The effect of COVID-19 in our daily lives continues.

While there have been many improvements made to stop the spread of this deadly virus, there is much work that remains to be done until it is fully under control.
Treatment continues to be limited, so we are left with preventive measures such as: Stay at Home, Social Distancing, and Face masks.

Education, however, continues through these difficult times, as it has and will continue to be.

The Parent-Teacher dynamic has become stronger during this time as both collaborate to implement distance learning.

The role of the Para-educator is now being adapted to include online collaboration and support of students and staff.

As preparations get underway to close the 2019-2020 academic school year, and prepare for Summer school and next year, take time to reflect and acknowledge on the newly discovered relationship bonds that will continue to make education the supporting pillar of society.
