- This Week’s Quote: This week’s quote was tweeted by a teacher before distance learning began. Teaching has always been an incredibly challenging profession. I want to encourage everyone this week to look for the positives. I don’t say that out of some form of naïveté or desire to create some false narrative. Instead, I want to ensure we’re taking advantage of the opportunities distance learning provides. It’s likely kids are getting more focused and uninterrupted learning time than they might get in person because of that all-important mute button, far less time is being spent on behavior, and, because our time with students each day is so precious, we are more focused on essential learning than I believe we ever have been. Other things are more challenging, and that’s important thing to acknowledge. How do we work to leverage those positive opportunities so that they outweigh the challenges? Each day will be different – some better than the other, but where we choose to focus our time and energy will have a big impact on our own sense of success and accomplishment and how our students feel about learning this year.
Wishing everyone a restful weekend.
Peter and Gina
Anyone else eating their feelings this weekend?
