Social Emotional Health and Remote Learning

In March, U.S. schools pivoted almost instantly into remote learning. Naturally, the initial focus was the delivery of the academic curriculum. Several months later, many schools have refocused and expanded their attention to include students’ social and emotional well-being. St. Thomas School has remained true to its core beliefs that academics and emotional well-being go hand in hand and that learning is a social construct. While we may be scattered throughout the city rather than on campus, the need to belong, connect, and be grounded in community remain constant. Read about my conversation with @Laura Ascione from @eSchool News about St. Thomas School’s transition to remote learning and how we come together to maintain a strong sense of community in the era of COVID19.
