Teacher Testimonial from Rachel Barlage

New Virtual Workshop Series for Educators

“Missing from so much of the media narrative right now is this fact: teachers want to show up for their students, teach their content, and serve their students and their content area well. But there is no playbook for K-12 teachers to follow in this scenario.”

There’s nothing like being a teenager during this pandemic

My name is Mariella Murillo, and I am struggling

By Zoe Rampersad

“I think it’s wise to look at this time as room to grow rather than feeling like you’re in a prison.”

By Caleb Bove

“None of us were really prepared for the prospect of never seeing many of our school friends again.”

Angela Gordon

“Families are afraid. Yet, each day when 16-20 out of my 23 students join our virtual session, I am reminded of the sacred learning environment we created physically, which has shifted so nicely into our virtual space.”

By Samiir Muhamed

“It is just you and the screen and there is no one beside you to explain the work in your native language or eat a snack with you…but online classes offer some unique benefits.”

By Malia McClerkin

“If the apocalypse has done anything for me, it has proven that my brain is incapable of learning through a computer.”

By Cristian Dubon-Solis

“I was by no means a stranger to having fun with my family, but I’ve never truly hung out with them. So I grabbed my deck of playing cards and asked my little sisters if they wanted to play some card games.”

Mike Berger

“Maslow is correct: until our students have food, shelter and feel safe, they cannot learn. Only once they feel safe and relatively comfortable can they begin to tackle content.”

By Daniel Merchan

“Although my family is experiencing fear and panic, we have found strength and comfort in each other through prayer and laughter.”

By Jacob Downey

“Don’t get me wrong, I’m uber excited for my post-apocalyptic biker gang — theme pending — but the uncertainty and commotion is scary.”

By Bethany Soto-Gomez

“The isolation has given everyone time to think. For many, it has not been good for them. But, I think that for a lot of us, this time was much needed.”

By Bendu David

“I stopped going to school days before the official announcement of closure was announced, with concern for my mother at the forefront of my mind.”

By Hasina Whittaker

“It is so much easier to work with a teacher in person instead of going online and watching videos . . . I kind of miss talking to my teachers as they would guide me through my work.”

By David Santana

“Even though my dad does all the necessary precautions, such as wearing a mask and gloves, it worries me how every day he is put at risk by going to work.”
