A Superintendent’s Perspective on Pandemic Learning

Over the past few weeks, we’ve discussed social-emotional learning and ways to enhance the well-rounded educational experience for all students. As the pandemic has continued, teachers and administrators have been actively addressing and navigating the various challenges presented. In this episode, it’s time to hear their perspective.

Dr. Wendy Oliver sits down with Dr. Randy Ziegenfuss, award-winning superintendent of Pennsylvania’s Salisbury Township School District, and asks what it’s like to be an administrator during these trying times. We get a glimpse of how things have changed, how learning is approached differently, and how a good leader boosts morale among teachers.
