prepared to handle potential cyber attacks, have substitute teachers on ready
Despite the anxieties and concerns on schools reopening amid a pandemic, district officials said students and teachers really missed seeing each other and in-person schooling can help with social and emotional learning. Teachers have been making sure they connect with students and families frequently to keep the connection alive.
“This is a year of learning and of patience, and slow and steady wins the race to get to the outcomes that is going to change our approach to teaching and learning for years to come,” said Nicole Sanders, the district’s senior equity and talent officer. “We spent a lot of time looking at the social and emotional learning piece for everyone and the district has launched a unit on it and included it in the curriculum. So we’re really mindful to support student, family and staff needs.”
That support includes student’s self-awareness, self-efficacy, parental engagement and ensure access and equity, she said. “We want to make sure that parents know how to connect to the digital tools so we’re spending a lot of time on that.”
