Leading in Times of Uncertainty & Crisis
As an organization dedicated to serving public school leaders, we have created this resource page to provide leaders and educators with practical tools for navigating leadership while balancing the multi-dimensional priorities of the new at-home and online learning model. While DFW schools remain closed, our team will continue to update this list with resources created by PIC and our many partners in this work. If you have resources to add or share, please reach out to our team by emailing picadmin@untdallas.edu.
