The final #suptchat of the school year happened last night, and the Paper team is here to highlight some of our favorite tweets! Hosts Michael Lubelfeld and Nick Polyak asked district leaders across the nation about their back-to-school plans.
As we move into a new school year full of opportunity in light of new funding, research, and state guidance, join #suptchat host Nick Polyak and other influential district leaders to discuss maximizing equity and impact for all.
The priority for superintendents this summer is to carve out a path to full-day, in-person lessons, while still budgeting some time to recharge.
Overcoming hardship is always an opportunity to learn. These district leaders discovered that there's great value in being flexible in fluid situations and sometimes the best thing to do is say, "I don't know."
Though the question was posed to benefit newer admins, the fact of the matter is we all can use a reminder to listen, see things from other's POV, and address challenges head-on.
There are a number of ways district leaders are going to provide emotional support to their stakeholders, but the underlying theme of each approach is the same: our district is a community.
The new school year doesn't just promise a confident return to in-person learning. Peers at the district level also get an opportunity to connect again. So keep some availability in your calendars!
One change we can expect moving forward is the newfound emphasis on compassion, work-life balance, and how we manage crises.
Right now, we're all after the same thing: learning acceleration. But what does that look like in practice?
A great question to close off the school year!
We'll see you all back in August!
