“Something so simple is just so beneficial...spending time and hearing what others are dealing with and realizing you're not alone. Thank you.”
Before winter break, the IASA COVID-19 Transition Team held its first of three sessions designed to provide an opportunity for members to network, ask questions and hear from their peers about strategies to deal with the realties caused by the COVID-19 global pandemic.
We received positive feedback from participants and hope you can join us Wednesday, January 6 for another enriching virtual session with your colleagues.
Like before, the day will feature four, one-hour sessions on an assigned theme. IASA Executive Director, Dr. Brent Clark, and members of the IASA COVID-19 Transition Team, will help lead the discussion, listen to concerns and answer questions.
Participants will then be randomly assigned into smaller breakout rooms to have a more detailed conversation with peers from different regions of the state. The discussion will be led by a Transition Team member.
The four themes are:
- Superintendent/Staff Wellness and Support
- Health Metrics and IDPH Guidance Questions
- Board/Community/Staff/Union Relations
- Assessments
If you can't attend on Wednesday, January 6, the same themes will be offered Monday, January 11. The times of sessions vary to better accommodate busy schedules. Feel free to pick and choose. All sessions are free.
