Debra Cota, Early Childhood Center Principal at Beijing City International School, was one of three featured presenters at SchoolRubric’s meet-up on Saturday, April 11 2020. Schools in Beijing are currently in their tenth week of closure, and Ms. Cota’s experience serves as an interesting “time machine” for other schools around the world in earlier stages of school closure as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
One of the main points that Ms. Cota shared was the importance of staying connected with teachers and other staff members during a school closure. By checking in regularly, offering support in any way possible, and leveraging and coordinating school resources, Ms. Cota was able to maintain and even deepen relationships with staff members throughout the closure.
