“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” ~Nelson Mandela
Online school is changing the way teachers teach and students learn! We are making history together. Be positive and continue to make those wonderful connections with your students.
Dr. Helen Caldicott, a world renowned Australian physician, stated, “Teachers, I believe, are the most responsible and important members of society because their professional efforts affect the fate of the earth.”
You have taken a remarkable leap in education lately. Please know we value your amazing efforts, also parents appreciate your diligence on behalf of their children. Stay the course!
"Teachers have three loves: love of learning, love of learners, and the love of bringing the first two loves together.”
--Scott Hayden
This has been a great experience for all of us to learn something new as we dive into digital learning and share it with our students.
Have you taken time out for yourself lately? The CDC recommends that we support ourselves these ways during this time:

I (Mentor Specialist Debbie Fisher) watched my granddaughter complete her classwork online today. She was so proud of her accomplishments. It reminded me of this quote:
"The greatest sign of success for a teacher...is to be able to say, 'The children are now working as if I did not exist.'"
~Maria Motessori
Teachers are making an amazing difference for their students today. Keep it going!
Remote learning can sometimes lack the personal touch that we have in face-to-face learning with our students. You can make videos of parts of your lessons for your students and post them in your canvas course, website, or email them to help keep connected to your students.
If this is something you would like some help with, let your mentor specialist know!
Here's an example from our Mentor Specialist, Amy Wood!
