The Collaborative and COVID-19

The coronavirus is affecting all of us in many ways. Each of us, in our own spheres, is working to find the best solutions to deal with its impact in our work, in our personal lives, in our country, and in our world.
​
The Collaborative has been addressing this situation through:

• working creatively with teachers and administrators in our national STEAM professional development to make implementation feasible for them.
• developing a list of online activity resources for students in all disciplines that we are sharing with educators.  
• promoting social distancing by changing our May in-person DC Board meeting to a virtual meeting
• Focusing on the important thinking skills that are the foundation of the Collaborative’s work that also can help us effectively navigate the complexity of this situation. (See Thinking Skills to Navigate the Coronavirus article)

I know that we are in uncharted territory individually and collectively. I also know that we have the rich capacities to support each other, to persist, and to use our rich thinking skills to emerge from this stronger and more resilient than ever. 

Best wishes for your health, peace, and safety,
​
