Leadership In Crisis In Education

CRISIS IN EDUCATION

During the past few weeks, the coronavirus has cast an uncertain future over U.S. education—particularly the ongoing school year. It has also raised a host of questions:

Is remote learning possible for every school? How can educators and parents make it a meaningful experience when it’s happened so suddenly? And what roles will teachers, administrators, paraprofessionals and parents play?

REMOTE WORK

With schools, major corporations, and small businesses closed, employees, are working outside the office. Remote work is increasingly a fact of work-life around the world. (Nearly one-quarter of Americans say some or all of their work is done outside the office.) But experts say a pandemic like a coronavirus is another reason why firms should invest in allowing workers to be able to productively work remotely.

In the social service environment, there is one case in Oregon where a Department of Children and Families changed its rules to allow some visits with foster kids to be conducted by video message rather than an in-person visit for the purposes of safety during the outbreak. It is assumed that there will be a lot of change in practice going forward as a result.

What are other specific concerns related to remote work for individuals working in the human services environment? Provide an example.

Leadership & organizational culture

  2. What are some tools leaders can use to create organizational culture?
  3. How would you decide what culture to build in your organization?
