AM New York: Bronx Educators offer Advice on Improving Remote Learning
Jessica Nauiokas, Head of School at Haven Academy, shares her insight and expertise on educating young people during the pandemic in this op-ed. “As the pandemic has shown, schools are truly the anchors of the neighborhoods we serve,” she writes. “We have used this moment to reimagine our relationship with our parents. We’ve taken the time to gain an even deeper understanding of their individual situations. Did they lose a loved one? Are families facing tenuous financial circumstances? Did they have the social support they needed—food, housing, and more—in this time of urgent need? We’ve found that success at remote learning and supporting each child necessitates actively understanding those answers.”
