COVID-19 Resource Guide for Schools and Educators
PLEASE ADD YOUR RESOURCES!!!!!
PLEASE READ: This is a living document, being compiled in real time by all of us. If you have something to add to this document please either add it under an appropriate category or create a category if you do not see one where it fits.
PLEASE ADD RESOURCES. WHAT IS YOUR SCHOOL USING/DOING?
None of us is as amazing as all of us. Let’s do this together. Be sure and put your name, social media handle or company name so folks will know how to follow up with you if they have questions. Powerful Learning Practice is happy to edit this and turn it into a Resource Guide to share widely once we all add our resources.
THANK YOU!!! Community is how we’ll get through this. Xo, Sheryl Nussbaum-Beach @plpnetwork sheryl@plpnetwork.com
Use a disinfectant wipe, any disinfectant wipe: According to a 2006 NPR story, "Disinfectant Wipes Safe for Computer Keyboards," a study conducted by the University of North Carolina determined that "all of the disinfectants we used were effective in removing the microorganisms that we intentionally contaminated the computer keys with." In fact, "Even the sterile water worked. And one class of disinfectants, which includes Sani-Cloth Plus, Cavi-Wipes, and Clorox Disinfecting Wipes, kept bacteria from regrowing for two days or more." Make sure you squeeze out the drippy liquid from the wipe before using it gently on the keyboard itself. Then, run a dry cloth over the board to pick up any remaining wipe fluid.
What if school systems, schools and classrooms sent daily tweets or whatever channel messages of support-- like this one
Take a deep breath. Here’s how we’ll tackle quarantine closures:
- Read with/to kids
- Encourage them to write daily
- Practice numeracy
- Create problem solving scenarios
I’ll be posting updates with my kids for the next few weeks. We got this!

Ways to stay connected to students during this break that matter 1) send a hand written note 2) send a personal video message 3) use a tool to start conversation starters Learning won’t stop, but the relationships we have shouldn’t stop either #edchat #BLinAction #educoach

Teachers: You have my permission to record & post videos of you reading any of my books for your students while your schools are temporarily closed. TIP:Just pepper it with "socratic" comments so it's not a straight read. ex. "What kind of mood is Vashti in?" : ) #readaloudalert https://pic.twitter.com/xygsDt6CJT
