Teaching at the time of COVID
Our speaker on Friday morning was Leanne Jensen-Steel A/Executive Principal, Chancellor State College. After listening to Leanne on how Chancellor and the teaching profession more widely coped with the COVID restrictions, and the online training, I was full of admiration and regret.
Admiration for a fantastic passionate educator who clearly loves what she does and truly " makes a difference" to those >1,000 kids in her care.
Regret that she wasn't around in my mis-spent youth.
Leanne covered the challenges and difficulties that schools faced with the virus restrictions, and how the teaching profession had responded and what the future impacts on the kids are likely to be, from "preppies" to grade 12's. Interesting to hear the spectrum of responses given the differences between well resourced schools, and others who are struggling. (An opportunity there for Rotary ?).
