Episode notes
Prioritize Wellbeing Over Rigor During Crisis
- Prioritize students' mental and physical wellbeing before rigorous academics during crises.
- Provide continuity and predictable routines to reduce children's anxiety and support later learning.
Run Regular Short Story Workshops
- Run short, regular storytelling sessions (e.g., weekly) to keep families engaged and build skills.
- Record sessions so participants can watch later and practice on their own schedule.
Combine Moments To Find Stories
- Separate diary moments can connect later to form a full story when you find the scene that links them.
- Recognize you may be mid-story and record new moments to complete the arc over time.
