Supporting Educators During the COVID-19 Pandemic
Members of the San Mateo County School Wellness Alliance, which includes representatives from San Mateo County Health, San Mateo County Office of Education, Sequoia Healthcare District and Peninsula Healthcare District partnered to host the “Becoming Connected Resilient Educators in Uncertain Times” series. The weekly series provided educators with an opportunity to connect with others to discuss the personal and professional challenges they were all facing related to the COVID-19 crisis. The seven-week series included presentation from experts from the field who provide great strategies to build community with students in a remote learning setting. Over the seven-week series we had 185 people register to attend. We are looking forward to continuing to support educators and school staff again in the fall.
