Advancements in the learning sciences taught me that we were doing many things antiquated before distance learning. One of the big ones was recognizing students via an in-person awards ceremony. Traditionally we would pull students out of instruction, invite parents when they inevitably had to take off work, and gather only the elite winners to celebrate success. With a push to Livestream awards for all students in a grade level, I gave our scholars the true celebration they deserved for their hard work and efforts while reaching relatives across oceans to join in the celebration with their scholars.
