|
Right now, at least 55 million students in the United States are unable to go to school because of the COVID-19 outbreak. This means that, all over the country, teachers have had to come up with creative ways to keep their students learning. I’m inspired to see how educators have risen to the challenge. But I know that remote teaching isn’t easy—especially for teachers whose students don’t have the hands-on activities and basic supplies they need at home. |
Speakers Program
Dr Peter Goss
Pete is developing a pilot project for an online reading program to happen here in Melbourne (and hopefully spread nationally) to engage volunteers reading with kids (one-on-one) for half an hour in the afternoon after normal school hours.
This will help the kids to keep engaged, the parents to have a bit of time to themselves, volunteers have something to do to help etc.

DG Grant Hocking
Rotarians worldwide are inspired by the Rotary theme of “Service Above Self” and are guided by reference to ‘The Four-Way Test’. In particular, ‘The Four-Way Test’ challenges Rotarians, in everything they do, to ask of themselves:
“Of the things we think say or do:
- Is it the TRUTH?
- Is it FAIR to all concerned?
- Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?
- Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?"
