Please keep your local school administrators in your thoughts over the coming weeks as they will be challenged with providing leadership, and likely to be put in no-win situations, as they make decisions that are in the best interest of their students. ❤️ These people!

Running one f2f schedule typically takes 2-3 months and then there are still schedule changes and adjustments during the first week of school...running 3 options with multiple contingencies is unbelievably difficult. Props to all schedulers.

Pro tip: Instead of thinking about learning at each phase...Plan to have teachers & students using an LMS regardless of how or where instruction is being delivered. The teaching/learning aspect should be seamless...fully virtual, blended or face to face.
