A sudden switch to teaching remotely is so difficult to manage. But what if it allows us to let go of all our previous assumptions about what we \\u201chave\\u201d to do with kids?

If schools can simplify the curriculum, cancel standardized testing, and put kids\\u2019 socio-emotional wellness first right now ... why can\\u2019t we do that all the time?

In this episode, I\\u2019m offering encouragement to help you let go of the pressure to do remote learning the \\u201cright\\u201d way. There is no right way because what we\\u2019re trying right now has never been done before on such a large scale.

If you\\u2019ve been feeling anxious about how to make everything work, listen in for some reassurance and clarity. This might just be the beginning of a profound and deeply-needed transformation of the expectations placed on teachers and students.
