Covid 19 has educators and educational institutions worried about and preparing for possible school closures. What happens if students have to stay home for days or even weeks? How can we keep them learning remotely? What strategies and technology tools can teachers leverage to take their traditional classes online? I have fielded multiple questions about the best ways to engage students and leverage online learning tools if schools close for a period of time.

A Principal's Reflections

MARCH 8, 2020

As a kid, my parents used to take me to professional baseball and hockey games all the time. Even though I was an avid sports fan, I think I looked forward to the food and walking around the venue more than watching the sport that was being played. Over time this changed, but as a kid eating junk food all day and not worrying about calories, sugar, or fat was the life.

“Well-behaved women seldom make history.” – Laurel Thatcher Ulrich. I am the mother of a 3 year-old girl. Each day I think of ways to help her develop into an intelligent, independent, unapologetic, brave, creative, compassionate, and resilient human being. I realize that one of the hardest plights in life is being born a girl, which means she will spend a lifetime standing up for herself and fighting.

The instructor’s PPT slides are brilliant. You’ve splurged on the expensive interactive courseware. Student engagement is stellar. So… why are half of your students still forgetting everything they learned in just a matter of weeks? It's likely a matter of cognitive science! With so much material to "teach" these days, we often forget to incorporate key proven principles into our curricula — namely active recall, metacognition, spaced repetition, and interleaving practice.

If you tuned in to Cooking with Craig last week on Instagram, you noticed a twist. Golf season started! Coaching a sport can throw a wrench into any family's normal routine. I love to cook so I like to cook all of our meals in the evening. During golf season, that means that we are going to be eating later, which we don't like to do. Good thing I have two awesome cooks at home.

For me, everything changed with the birth of my daughter in 2015. Up until that time, I was relatively content with my professional life. Having an associate degree and an L.P.N. certificate allowed me to work in the healthcare field — first in a hospital, and then a medical office — and make enough to live on. My jobs were fine, if somewhat unfulfilling, but becoming a mom gave me an entirely different perspective.
