REMOTE • HYBRID • IN-PERSON

Last month in Leadership Matters, we asked nine superintendents from nine different IASA regions (three in person, three remote, three hybrid) five questions about reopening school in our new feature, Superintendent Check-In. This month, we build on that with five more questions to nine new superintendents. However, this time, the focus shifts from reopening school to successes and obstacles superintendents have faced during this school year in the areas of teaching and learning, social-emotional support and technology. Plus, we once again ask superintendents to share tips for managing stress. We hope this feature is another way superintendents can support each other during this unprecedented time. We are all stronger together. What has been the biggest success in your district’s approach to teaching and learning this school year? What has been the biggest challenge related to teaching and learning? How has your district adapted its approach to providing social-emotional support to students? In what ways has your district been innovative with technology? What advice do you have for fellow superintendents on dealing with and managing stress associated with the job right now? Superintendent Check-In 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
