About

This session explores the human component of covid-recovery for schools and re-acclimation for both the adults and students. 

Covid changed a lot. What changes will remain and what will return to the way it was before? How can teachers and administrators set healthy boundaries with students and parents after many of those boundaries got blurred during the transition to distance learning? How do we harness the future with renewed optimism and grace?

This will be a powerful session that celebrates the courage of every participant and offers an exciting blueprint of action for the coming school year.
