Highlander Institute has launched a new list of ideas to support leaders in planning for school reopening for the 2020-2021 school year. This compilation reflects a review of 50+ articles, webinars, and plans as well as the collective brainstorm of 50+ talented teachers and leaders across the state of Rhode Island. The majority of this group is composed of Fuse RI Fellows, who have played a variety of critical leadership roles in their district transitions to distance learning this spring. Organized into five categories: Summer Planning, Full Distance Learning, Combination Learning, Full In-Person Learning, and Good Ideas Across Scenarios, our list attends to the values defined in our 4 Key Considerations framework – which sets meaningful learning on top of a strong foundation of relationship building, wellness, communication, and care for students and families.
