Cute Teri! Happy birthday!!

Here's the 9th birthday celebration...

 A big impact was hearing how some students are overwhelmed with the amount of work they're getting from teachers - and how (even though they were given many sets of instructions) some are still assigning work as if they were with them in person.

At home we are healthy and doing fine. I found myself writing a short short about this process from the quarantine zone.  I also bought sourdough starter because I couldn't buy yeast!

Work with teachers is going forward with all teachers using an online learning system.  I'm impressed with the enthusiasm in which teachers are engaged in the process of helping students.  Some have reported spending all day answering students' questions!  Our choir teacher said his zoom meetings with the choir are hysterical.

The weeks have been both stressful and freeing in some ways.  We are working on building a resource page and, given the fact that other tasks have had to take a back seat, we have been able to focus intensely on the task and have had teachers' interest and input like never before.  Teachers are still struggling with the "how" of the collaborative part of ELD, but I think some are actually very comfortable and creative with online learning while others are showing great willingness to learn and to work with us in the process.

Wins - spoke to all math and science secondary chairs - they are all learning and supporting all teachers and students.

Love seeing the support and comradery in SVUSD - This is helping to unify our district - teachers, students, and even families

How is it going? At home? At work? Oh wait-it is the same place!

o   Wins, Challenges, Moments of Humanity…

Semi-solid routine with the kids

Thankful for Google Fiber, we have had moments where 4 of the six of us are in Zoom/Google Hangouts at the same time

Went to Ralph's yesterday, it was organized and had food we have not been able to get.

How is it going? Everything is good
At home? Been good to spend time with family and work in the backyard and go on walks.
At work? Good.  Been able to help a lot of people.  Daily office hour is usually full (except yesterday just three).  Answering lots of emails and text.  Good to be wanted, but I think that high wore off a little and I got tired.
Oh wait-it is the same place!

o   Wins, just seeing so many teachers really stay positive and be proud of what they are doing (regardless of if it really is advanced, it is advanced for them). I made a Zoom How To Screencastify that seemed to help.
Challenges, Just balancing what every one needs and making sure I am serving everyone.

I feel like the home/life schedule has gotten into a routine that is manageable but I've got a daughter in college doing remote learning classes, another daughter working remotely from home on her job tasks, a son doing online work for his high school, me doing my responsibilities and my wife trying to hold us all together before she flies off every Friday for Hawaii. That's four computers going at once. How are families with one computer at home.

Big wins from the daily connections I'm making with teachers. Everybody but one teacher on LMS that kids have regular access to.
Only struggle is trying to keep teachers on a reasonable pace without holding some back and going to fast for others.
When I receive positive feedback. from teachers I don't get to usually talk with on campus during "regular" school, I get big smiles!

While we have seen teachers absolutely rise to the occasion, I am getting a lot of people who just want to call and vent AND I am a little concerned about the fact that we may be burning out some of our hardest workers. I am worried that teachers have such demands on them that someone may go off the deep end. I really feel like we, and admin and DO, need to be very careful and very systematic and direct about what we are asking teachers to do.

# data[].attributes.body
I have 2 workspaces...my bedroom when Chris is home so I can lock myself in, and the dining room when he's not so I can keep 1 eye on my kids haha.

Things are going well...I've learned I CAN work from home, and it's actually been nice to be with my family.  It's also been a bit of a challenge because my kids don't understand why I'm on my computer so much, and I haven't been able to meet all their needs (academically especially 😜)

I have loved supporting our teachers in this journey--so many are overwhelmed and just having us to rely on has really helped them stay calm and they feel like they are not alone.  I also have loved seeing so many teachers, in their own element.

Time as usual is a challenge.  I literally spend most of my day in video chats, and I barely have time to get to other things on my list.  My kids haha...

Big impact:  How our Teachers are so amazing and stepping up, even those that are tech-phobes as we all them.  ❤️

It's going well, just a bit crowded for us.  My daughter is such a trooper and has participated in most things I have been working on.  My husband is working from home half of the week, so we have a shared office space most of the week.  My biggest win so far is getting my whole school on Google Classroom. I'm also so impressed with how my teachers are collaborating and working together.

At home, we are figuring out a rhythm and we have come up with some fun ways to occupy ourselves. By mid-day yesterday, I stopped having teachers in triage situations and could actually go back to a project I was doing with Glen and Canvas to come up with a template for the Virtual Academy. I was really happy to get back to my regular work.

Wins, Challenges, Moments of Humanity…

Still trying to figure out a routine - learning to turn off my phone.

Every teacher is touching base with students academically and socially/emotionally - some with parents as well.

Something that had a big impact on you this week

Attending online classrooms with students and seeing it from their end.

Things are going great! It has been so amazing to see everyone come together and make it happen!
WIns: Teachers have been working together as teams and have been reaching out to me more than ever-- which is wonderful! I have worked with some teachers who have been reluctant to reach out in the past.
Humanity: opportunity for teachers to see that DO, Admin, each other are humans and do care about one another--- compassion has been seen throughout this and has been extremely refreshing.
It has been nice to be with my family and I'm loving wearing sweats on my bottom half :-)

I am really proud of my staff and how much they have accomplished this week. It has been a steep learning curve for some, but they all came together and rose to the occasion. I think some of our PLC's got a violent shove into collaboration and they are seeing the value of taking the best from everyone and using it in the best interest of the students. I haven't heard anything negative; only positives and proud moments.

Big wins: Every teacher using Google Classroom, attempting to touch base with EVERY student--do we actually do this in person? Admin is nothing but supportive, calling kids that teachers have not been able to reach.

How I've grown: Week one was really hard (the week where teachers weren't teaching yet but everything was on fire). I was trying to homeschool two kids, out together 3rd grade curriculum because Capo was on Spring Break, and my four year old's preschool won't provide any real home teaching resources. My husband and I are both working full time, so managing all this was difficult. But I learned to give my self some grace and not strive to make everything so perfect.

We had to celebrate mt daughter's ninth birthday in captivity. We managed to put something nice together and we'll have the big bash when we're all released from prison.

Teachers are willing to branch out and try some new strategies - but it is important to stay within their comfort zone at the same time.
Wins: teachers seem to be embracing the challenges.
Big impact: Identifying multiple ways distance learning can work successfully for low tech and high tech teachers.
Challenges: I feel there needs to be amore consistent, uniform message to teachers about expectations.

I cannot work at home until I get an adapter to hardwire into our router. Both my children are healthy and at home, but we do not have the bandwidth to support all the streaming required for their college classes and my work. Hence, I have claimed squatters rights in my fully sanitized classroom and the toilet paper warehouse. Teachers are working against a steep curve but are are most are stepping outside their comfort zones and making it happen. The biggest challenge I have is helping my admin define what it is we are doing (synchronous or asynchronous learning?). Should teachers review old material and slowly roll out new concepts or standards? I know what I think, but I also know that our leadership and faculty would gladly accept some logical administrative decisiveness.  Like most, I have teachers who are doing a bit too much right now: stepping onto other's official office hours with mandatory class meetings, etc. The biggest thing that has impacted my week (so far)  is COVID-19.

Teachers are willing to do the work but some are assigning more work than is possible for students at home and alone - that will be my next piece of work.  My family is healthy.  I wrote a story in my journal about this experience strange and culturally shifting time and it's turning out to be something revealing about my thoughts going forward.

How am I? Things are going great here at home (aka work) We are healthy, work is slowing down a bit (which means teachers are managing well) and I actually feel closer to my staff through this.
Challenges: It is hard to show people how to do some of the technology from afar. I feel that my hands have been taken away at times and I am reliant upon my voice. We have overcome the challenges, however, and it has made many teachers gain a lot more confidence in their tech abilities.

Wins: This experience has made us all aware of our humanity and the fact that we need each other! The biggest impact made upon me this week is how amazing it is to see us pull together as a coaching cohort, a family and how the school district is one big team! I am blessed to be a part of SVUSD!
