                          • "I’m afraid that we are asking A LOT of teachers this year. Some are feeling like they are having to compromise their health by returning physically to work. Some are overwhelmed by creating content virtually and learning new protocols. How can we help them feel that their work is vital! How can we continue to show genuine appreciation and support? What can we do to help them feel valued?" Allison Garland @agarlandedu
                          • ”What do we say to our staff on the first day back.” Greg Moffett 
                          • "What are some specific ideas or tangible examples to "make sure we have things in place" for our staff in terms of social-emotional needs, understanding that they all may have a different set of needs. How do we realistically build or rebuild our staff community when we return, taking into consideration whether we are remote, hybrid, or full return to school?" Livia Chan

                                              On your campus or in your district, how do you allow students to lead? After reflecting on this question myself, I realized that I needed to learn more about this topic so I found a great resource to gain more student leadership strategies. I’m excited to have the authors of the new book “When Kids Lead”, Todd Nesloney and Adam Dovico, on the podcast to share about how to create future student and adult leaders!
