I'm a high school principal in Hong Kong — this is what US families can expect distance learning to look like in a few months
Dr. David Lovelin is the high school principal of Hong Kong International School. He's been a school administrator for 15 years throughout South Korea and the US.
It's important to have centralized communication, develop a daily routine, and meet weekly expectations, Lovelin says, to keep students on track and make them feel supported.

Everything is contained in theEducators, parents, and students know where to find things, when instruction will begin, and what expectations are.
