Shifting to a Remote Mindset

Thinking remote means being able to distill our interactions and reflect on what we value. What aspects of being in a classroom do we care about the most? How can we extract these parts and repurpose them to work in a remote setting? In today’s episode, we bring on special guest David Sawhill from Claremont High School, Kelly Tilson from Redlands East Valley High School, June Straight from Parkland High School, and Yearbook Rep Lori Garcia. We have an open discussion about their initial nerves, fears, and the uncertainty they felt about accomplishing what they thought was impossible. We discuss how a change in their mindset takes them from being nervous to motivating their students and push through to produce this once-in-a-lifetime historical book.
