The Summer of 2020

The long days of Summer bring with them: sunshine, warmth, and heat.

All things that are welcomed yet we seek shelter when extremes are reached beyond our level of safety and/or tolerance.

They make us long for the cold Winter nights and provide us with a chance to reflect on the school year that was and all that took place therein.

The impact of COVID-19 continues to affect education.
Educators are planning how to provide the best instruction possible while adapting new methods of education implementation.

Schools and districts look to health and government officials for guidance and share this information with teachers, parents, students, and all education stakeholders, in order to design a model that addresses everyone's needs and concerns.

Summer school sessions help to try out designs and ideas that could be implemented upon the return to school in the Fall.

Summer has also shined a light to shadowy areas of society that have been neglected and ignored for far too long among these: Protection, Justice, and Inequality.

It is also important that educators take the time to do a thorough self-assessment of all that has taken place this past school year, and to pause for some rest as this has been a most exhausting time for all of us.

Enjoy your Summer!
