Teaching and Motherhood During A Global Pandemic with Julie Cassidy

Julie Cassidy has been teaching for nearly three decades, and she's a single mom living during this global pandemic. In our conversation, Julie shares what it's been like transitioning from the classroom environment to a distance learning environment. As a teacher of over XX students, she even shares a little bit about how this environment has impacted her senior year students and their parents. Julie talks about the challenges of working from home, being available to her students AND supporting her own daughters during this time. She recommends teachers "grade with grace," and invites parents to simply "chill." She even offers some perspective to leaders, encouraging them to think about the students who are most in need during this time as they re-imagine education after COVID-19.
