When people are pressed with the pressure and stress of what our current context presents, the parts of the brain that trigger "fight" or "Flight" are definitely triggered.

Our staff is divided...we have a division amongst our certified and classified unions and within our teacher's' association members.

# data[].attributes.body
-seeing our staff morale has been affected with so much unknown
-concerned about not meeting the needs of all our students (virtually)
-harder to check in on the mental health of our families, there is a greater need
-support structure has had to be flexible based on our learning model adjustments

Our students are remote and there are still students we will have seen since March.

We need to continue to be mindful that while this situation we find ourselves in may feel like a long time, it is only a part of the 13 year school age career of our students.  We need to be empathetic and give one another grace. Be focused on the long view.

Acknowledge that this is real.

We are sharing our decision-making framework that is really helping us in this process.

We were cooking with gas: we were humming along with our Portrait of a Grad work; building significant capacity with the 10 Qualities of DEW and then our financial issues hit...we RIFed 19 staff members...THEN...the pandemic dropped. We're currently on the floor trying to dust ourselves off and we're covered in dust.

We are all in this together. We are practicing the work of educational triage. The network provides us with the opportunity to "come up for air" in order to reflect on our true purpose. The Digital Engagement series has been so valuable.

Focusing on equity, access and inclusion. The topics discussed provide a strong foundation on these topics.

# data[].attributes.body
Teachers are more comfortable and confident.
Hoping that translates into future instruction.

# data[].attributes.body
-the digital engagement series
-conversations that we've had in the past help frame conversations now
-we're in triage, but we're doing our best to focus on the work
