This is the most well thought out article that I have read about possible scenarios for opening schools.

Hands, a Poem in honor of National Poetry Month

Hands

Diane Saienni Albanese

April 1, 2020

Hands are for washing

Twenty times a day

Fingers splayed 

Scrub tops with vigor

Isolate thumbs

Poke under nails

Swish with pure water

Twenty times a day

Adapt to this world

Think forward 

To a time when poems

Won’t be just warnings

Of danger or peril

When a poem will serve 

To elevate 

And illuminate

Faith in little rituals

Washing hands now

But preparing 

For hands 

To embrace

Each other again

Handshakes and hugs

Humanity’s salvation

Adolph Brown, III without a doubt, offers the most uniquely inspiring, relevant and entertaining presentations around. He is an American urban and rural school educator, author, research-scientist, businessman, and keynote speaker. He is a servant-leader at heart and is admired around the world for his simple and direct “Real Talk,” and powerful, universal and timeless teachings. Dr. Brown is best known for inspiring all who hear him to learn, laugh and lead, while simultaneously reducing implicit bias at every turn.

He is the leading provider of anti-bias training in business and education. He is highly regarded as the “balcony” leadership speaker who gets you from where you are to where you want to be. Also as a credentialed Master Teacher, he helps teachers reach every student. As a much sought-after and highly effective Unconscious Bias, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion keynote speaker, Dr. Brown skillfully addresses the impact of stereotypes.

Without further ado, here are the most exciting YA books to look forward to in the first half of 2020.
