Shout out to the educators trying to make the best of an impossible situation created by Lecce this week. You were advised of the move to online instruction during a holiday. You probably did NOT receive the extensive training needed to provide effective online instruction. /1
You likely do not have the tools needed to do your job. You likely have materials at school that might have helped you out. Your board likely did not put the necessary plans in place (because they were on holiday too). Everything about this is set up to fail. /2
The parents of your students are struggling as well. They will learn quickly that the screen time requirements in the PPM are stupid. Many many not have the tools needed for them to work from home and the kids to learn. /3
The reality is the government doesn’t understand how schools work. They do not know about effective instructional practice. Nor do they care. /4
So, here is some advice. We are in the middle of a raging pandemic. Do the best you can to manage an impossible situation that you did not create. It won’t be perfect and that is OK. Nothing about this is perfect. Kids don’t need perfect. They just need to know you care.
