Educators, Covid-19 is not the time to pull out the bells and whistles. Instead it's the time to Keep Things Simple. Academically, prioritize what's most important and nothing more. Less is more here! #COVID2019

The primary goal in addressing a discipline issue should be to prevent future misbehavior, not to prove who’s in charge, not to prove who’s right, not to gain the upper hand. Always strive to protect the relationship and use mistakes as learning opportunities.
