Description

In North America, some school districts have just begun online learning this month. However, there are schools who have been on this journey for many weeks, and have been generously sharing their knowledge, pitfalls and celebrations.

In a recorded Zoom conversation from February 20, 2020, Aleka speaks with Melanie Vrba, High School Principal at the Western Academy of Beijing in China. The school had been closed for about a month at this point, and in their conversation, Melanie shares some lessons learned for school leaders, parents and students facing a sudden transition in their schooling life.
