On Friday, March 13, 2020, teachers and students in New York State parted ways for the weekend. The weekend would turn into a mandated two-week lockdown. And the two-week lockdown—for public schools—wouldn’t end until the following September.
Lockdowns, Zoom tiles, hybrid models, and synchronized instruction tasked teachers with the impossible. Truly. But teaching—I have learned—is simply empathy in action, and Campbell and her peers continued to love, to teach, and to let go.
Join Jenesis Campbell and I as we look at the life that led to her teaching career. From the safety her elementary school provided, to the bonds she forged with her teachers, Campbell always knew she wanted to do for other kids what was done for her. It was always about more than long division.
Come for a better understanding of pedagogy pre-pandemic. Stay for the ways we’ve all grown since.
