Appreciating Educators — Barnet School

Sandra Mings Lamar, Director of Adult Education, sent us a recommendation to highlight the work of the Barnet School teachers. She shared:

The teachers at Barnet school are answering to students who are in class every day, to students who are remote every day, and to students who are hybrid: some remote some at home.

I see teachers creating videos late at night to teach skills being covered the next day in class, so they can post the lesson in the morning before 8 for their remote-only learners. I see the essential arts teachers putting together lessons that can be done outside so kids at home aren’t staring at a screen all day. In addition, these teachers work with every student, so they are creating these for multiple grade levels — that’s a lot of prep periods. I see middle school teachers doing all of this as well as planning for different groups of middle schoolers to be in the building certain days while others are in on other days.

While many schools in the area have “work at home Wednesdays” or “work at home Fridays” which give teachers some breathing space, Barnet teachers go in every day and most are making online lessons every night to post in the morning. They are also taking all the safety precautions very seriously. It is a tireless job and they are all doing it amazingly well. Please include them as SJA Shining Stars.

Barnet School Principal Dr. Luisa Millington was thrilled to have the school’s teachers be recognized. Her thoughts on the entire school staff showed the need to recognize all involved in educating students in the Barnet community. She stated:

The entire staff at Barnet School is working hard to provide the best learning experience for our students during the unknown. We are clearly facing unique challenges, but the commitment of our staff and its dedication to our students’ well-being and safety is unwavering. We are blessed with an amazing group of talented educators who deeply care about children and who work above and beyond their call of duty to support them.

Thank you to all of the Barnet School teachers:
