Good Teachers!

Everywhere I look educators are sharing ideas for ways to communicate clearly, visually, and digitally.  They are reaching out to their peers.  They are reaching out to their students.  They are seeking support and they are providing support. 

Times like these just prove that good teachers are the key to learning.  Good teachers are going to do what it takes no matter what obstacle comes their way. Good teachers get the job done.

I was so grateful to get a message from a young woman who I consider to be one of those Good Teachers.  She and I have worked collaboratively for several years and she said:

"No help needed at the moment, but just wanted to say thank you.  Your guidance and help over the last few years has given me the confidence to easily tackle all the new things coming my way these days."

I think the 'good' teachers are rising to the top right now more than ever before.  I see those who are strong, well prepared, versatile, risk-takers excelling even in this unusual situation of distance learning and staying at home.

I am really interested to see how this time impacts the future of teaching and learning!
