We are excited to have SchoolAI as a sponsor for the Summer of AI Series on Transformative Principal. Please visit schoolai.com to save your teachers 10 hours per week. Jeanne Collins is the Superintendent Rutland Northeast Supervisory Union.  Vermont is very rural. Vermont Virtual Learning Cooperative Pivoting quickly in the spring - hindsight wasn’t effective. Spent summer identifying essential components of our curriculum Essential elements remote learning schedule, predictability, consistency, guide on what to expect. Remote for a month. Guide on what to expect. Livestreamed as opposed to a virtual school. 80 minute block not designed to be a stand and deliver. Assignments in Google classroom. As Parent and benefit of a schedule Game format on Wednesdays - How do we learn from the valuable lessons and opportunities? Parents Adjusted during pandemics, but they want to go back Learning Pathways Handbook for Students, Parents and Staff  RNESU Remote Learning Guidance for Staff  Re-Opening Learning Information for Parents  Wednesday Teacher Planning &amp; Remote Learner Expectations   Edmentum, Seesaw  Separate remote teachers vs. livestreaming classrooms. Lessons learned - communication &amp; Leadership role with trust. Daily email ThoughtExchange Surveys The schools send newsletters, I don’t need to be in competition with them. Education is slow to change, but we changed on a dime to meet the needs of our kids. How to be a Transformative principal? Stop and listen. List  Principals Didn’t like administrivia meetings 2x month Since COVID weekly meeting via zoom, talking through what’s coming up. Consistency across district. Work through what’s coming up as a team. Little bit of both intentional planning and putting out fires. How to assess kids. Sponsors InControl SEL for Middle School In Control created an effortless social and emotional, character development video curriculum for your students that’s ZERO-TEACHER-PREP AND it’s so cool looking- it feels like a Youtube or Netflix Series- and that’s purposeful, they meet students right where they’re at. The videos are 5–6 minutes, kids love them, teachers love them, and you will too. There’s no guesswork in the program because there’s a 21-video progression for each grade level. They’ve thought of everything– because it’s a group of award winning counselors, teachers, and principals that came up with this thing. It’ll help you save tons of time and headaches. Take it from me, it’s time to check that social-emotional learning box, the empty one that’s been keeping you up at night–and it’s time to do it in a meaningful, measurable, magnetic way.
