Reply to "Leadership During COVID-19"

As an elementary school principal, I have to say that our State and District Superintendent have communicated frequently in this ever changing challenge.  I applaud our district leaders for staying connected with all of the principals, other leaders, and families through timely newsletters, Zoom, and now Google Meet gatherings.  I believe that collaboration is still the key to getting to the next step of helping our students.  Knowing your staff and who may be having difficulty with next steps is important so they can  be paired up (virtually) with a person or group that will help them be successful.  This is uncharted territory that has never been done with quick roll out.  Taking one step at a time is necessary but those steps need to move at a faster pace than what some are used to. It is important as a leader that you also have your own connections and collaboration time.  Find your people and reach out to share ideas.  Stay connected with your state leadership organizations.  Be optimistic and try to stay positive, which can be difficult when your own family or neighbor is waiting for Covid-19 test results.  Take care of YOU, take a walk, take a few of those belly breathes we teach our students, and be kind.
