The pandemic upended a lot of things in education. Classes online. No sporting events. Masks and distancing. It has been tough for students, teachers, staff, and families. It has got us thinking about how education can be different and how we can best support our students. We chatted with Dr. Paul Atkinson, Head of School for The Fletcher Academy- A School of Achievement. The Fletcher Academy (TFA) is a school for students with learning differences. The effects of the pandemic aren't ideal for TFA's model. I talked with Paul about what has pivoting looked like and what he has been learning this year.
*The A.J. Fletcher Foundation is a significant supporter of The Fletcher Academy.*
