Good morning Team GHS,
Are we prepared?
Should schools have to close due to COVID 19, let’s
take these precautionary measures:
1. All students have a list of topics that need to
be completed from their course outline
2. Share with students 2 or more free websites where
they can obtain information on their course of study
3. If you have not formed a Whatsapp Chat with your
classes now is the time
4. Collect and share email addresses in order for
students to submit assignments, course work (BJC/BGCSE)and receive feedback
5. Prepare handout packages for students to take
home
6. Ensure that you have parents/ guardians contact
information ( these can be shared from our database, see Ms., clerical staff)
7. Let’s ensure that we provide multiple
opportunities for students’ success.

My Personal Preparedness
On March 16, 2020, I went and paid the following
bills
Utilities: electricity, cable internet, water
& sewage -these are key items for my online courses
life insurance 2 months in advance
Purchased 2 more 5 gallons of water
licenses my vehicle & drivers licence
Non perishable Groceries
Went to school and prepared the computer lab for
hurricane conditions, which mean to pull the electricity supply/plug on
everything.
My face to face computer class - I set up a WhatsApp
group to keep in contact
Presently, I am in hurricane mode (reflecting on t events with Hurricane Dorian, 2019, and experiences gained). I went and purchase my sanitizer supplies
My Supplies

As
a small island state with hurricanes starting at category 4 & 5, with turbo
wind speeds at 225 miles per hour, as a people we need to be prepared for
landfall. Reflection of the conditions that I faced in Nassau, Bahamas before,
during and after Hurricane Dorian. Here I used Kolb (1984) Experience learning cycle.
Image 3. Kolb (1984) Reflective Cycle
I feel that those experiences made me
stronger and wiser to be in a position to embrace any challenges as I now have
a point of reference (Kolb, 1984). This form
of my self-reflection within myself by revising some pass experiences and see
the red flags, shortfall or strengths. I take time to develop, and from my view
point I can now self-reflect and prepare for this next hurricane - Corona.
Image 2. Hurricane COVID-19 on its way to make
landfall in The Bahamas
The above image 2 show COVID-19 satellite depicted that Hurricane Corona as a Category 5, and is approaching The Bahamas at 185 miles per hour wind speed. COVID-19 is moving slow at 7 miles per hour. In reflection I feel that time management is very important. Do not wait for the last minutes to decide to act.
