Virtual Crew Stories: By and About EL Education Partners

Student crew is only as strong as staff crew. To nurture staff belonging, school leaders are maintaining connections among staff and finding ways for teachers to process their own experience and emotions. To nurture staff purpose and agency, school leaders are helping staff lead Crew in the way students need now.

We find ourselves moved on a daily if not hourly basis by what our partners are doing to care for the well-being of students and staff, and to help them care for each other. Here, we share a few of these stories.

• "Advisory is a critical tool for sustaining schools through the Coronavirus Crisis" from Patrick Finley (the co-principal at Metropolitan Expeditionary Learning School, New York City) in EdWeek.
• On our Virtual Opening Circle page, you can find posts from partner schools across the network tagged #WeAreCrew

Have an example to share? We are learning alongside you about what virtual crew can look like, and welcome your contributions. Use this form or email Sarah Norris at snorris@eleducation.org. 

And for treasure hunters out there, we are maintaining this public folder with everything we find.
