Teachers: PL & Online Pedagogy
Team
Across all our communities, we need to be mindful that many families are experiencing significant turmoil – which may last months. As a public education system, we need to take the lead in maintaining a slow, calm, comforting, and supportive approach to ensure we do not overwhelm our students, parents, guardians, and/or their caregivers – whether that be an older sibling, grandparent or babysitter.
We appreciate your willingness to take your expertise as a classroom teacher, & transition to providing continued instruction to your students in a new way. This can be challenging, but RVS will support your needs as they evolve. We encourage you to build networks of support through Professional Learning Communities.
