Leadership
Leadership is a highly important trait to develop, especially when working in education. Educators are expected to be leaders in the classroom to their students, but also amongst their peers. Demonstrating strong leadership skills and the importance of them can help students boost their leadership and become the future leaders themselves.

Negative Effects of Covid in Education & Mitigation Strategies
Students need to be in class, learning, socializing, problem solving, and growing as individuals. Student learning outcomes and educational achievement have also been negatively impacted by the pandemic. Schools will use science driven mitigation factors to deal with the spread of the virus and promote safe and healthy learning for all of our students.
