When Covid hit, it started to effect schools, parents and students dramatically. Today Tracey and Tim are honored to have Dr. Betsy Hargrove, Superintendent of the Avondale Elementary School District, join the show to discuss the ingenuity, determination and maneuvering that took place during this time. And beyond that, what we have learned that will create positive change for the future.  How do we get a Zoom account? That’s pretty much how Dr. Hargrove started when news hit that schools were closing and they had immense planning to get to. But she was determined to assure the children that they were still connected to their schools and teachers, and that engaging parents was instrumental in this process. They also talk about how community relationships made all the difference during this time, the long-term effects of remote learning on education, Avondale’s extraordinary collaborative structure, student-centered learning, listening to all viewpoints and much more. This inspiring, informative and emotional episode is one you don’t want to miss.
