Students will need a lot of catch up time.

Students having a hard time transitioning

kids who have dropped off will never come back

Students having anxiety and stress of increased work load

We’re ignoring trauma

Students that don't want to go back

ELL students new to our school/state/country don't know what we expect in an American classroom.

the structure

Students need time to adjust

we need to acknowledge the trauma and change in everyone

Not giving students time to process the change back

students not having the habits for success

Our system needs to be more flexible to meet all needs.

anxiety and stress over social situations

Going back to these pre-determined standards...just moving forward without learning

students need district laptops

Some students are thriving online.

Bigger gap between strong students and weaker students

Students will need extra support

some students did better in remote learning due to social anxiety; they would like to stay remote

Students have developed a lot of bad habits. How are we going to correct them?

different needs of students will be even more pronounced

A lot of assumptions were made this year about students for their disengagement; those need to be deconstructed

Students needing to establish new habits and connections.

There was a lot of work. I am not sure they could return to the work load that both students and teachers had.

Meeting students where they are at and not shaming them for the loss.

Kiddos will be soooo attached to digital “toys”

greater problems with mental illness and abuse

Students lack social skills

Anxiety, stress, social skills

Need for strong community building and conection

credit deficiency

Recognizing our own losses

used to passive learning

Yes. Gaps that existed before will be more visible.

“…the valuing of diversity within the human community. When inclusive education is fully embraced, we abandon the idea that children have to become “normal” in order to contribute to the world…We begin to look beyond typical ways of becoming valued members of the community, and in doing so, begin to realize the achievable goal of providing all children with an authentic sense of belonging.”

we abandon the idea that children have to become “normal” in order to contribute to the world

being different is a human condition - from a biodiversity lens, we need the differences to become a stronger group

how do we define normal

I did I did!

My volume is bad and I can only chat today.. But, I have included students in competition, being a hostess for catering events, etc.

Creativity was important to us as well

Science labs!

The hands-on activities!

Yes, and allowing for a lot of flexibility, etc.

We did not get to see the outside the box thinking and support that went into making that opportunity a reality.

Exactly, Seth. We did not see how he figured out these roles for her. What resources did he have access to? Was this out of his own head or did he work with someone else to come up with the modifications? How much did he adjust his musical choices/ curriculum--or was he adding to what he already did?
