Highlights of the Episode
- [01:30] I am currently the community charter school of Paterson
- [02:33] hop on the train and take about 25 minutes to get to New York
- [02:53] So I'm originally from Washington, DC
- [03:33] I got my master's from American University, and working in DC
- [05:35] I always lead from a space of empathy
- [06:59] we provide a help opportunities for parents
- [08:58] PowerSchool to communicate with parents
- [09:28] So teachers have options to be able to send out that communication
- [10:23] quarantining of students and figuring out that process
- [11:03] so I think we're faced with the challenge of teacher burnout
- [12:52] I would say we are navigating that quite well
- [13:56] providing teachers with professional development on how to address the gap
- [14:55] I am a proponent that when students need to repeat
- [16:11] individuals want to be a part and families want to be a part
- [17:39] I'd say the other part is our Extended Learning Time
- [19:47] I've been here is that families like they become a part
- [21:24] coming out this pay period, that's going to be 750
- [23:05] Don't overextend yourself, but do the best you can within your ability
