School Systems Go Home-Children Teachers & Management Teams Deal with CHANGE

"How did management teams deal with changes that happened hour by hour ...  and with circumstances changing within the same day?"

Scarlett Steinert, Director of School Safety for the Chapel Hill/Carrboro City (public) schools discusses this unprecedented CHANGE for children, teachers, administrators and management teams.  From the changes in students' daily schedules to managing their screen time and stress levels, Scarlett Steinert provided informed and innovative insights into how children can now continue forward.

As a part of the management team, she shared valuable details of how teams were tasked with making changes hour by hour over these last weeks, presenting that the constant communication and coordination among school administrators with local and state governing bodies enabled the team to handle this evolving crisis in a successful systematic manner. 

Scarlett further discussed the response from the perspectives of teachers and parents, both coping with the need to establish healthy boundaries and the need for stress relieving behaviors such as connecting safely with outdoor (open air) activities from safe distances - adhering to CDC guidelines.
