Doing Life During COVID-19: Homeschooling During a Pandemic with Lindsay Jesteadt

Part of Wake Up Narcolepsy's mission is to provide supportive resources for people with Narcolepsy and their families. During this time of massive daily life alterations, we want to continue to offer those resources.

We are all going through a traumatic event together and as we are adapting to a new normal within our homes some may find it difficult to create structure.

We created a miniseries called Doing Life During COVID-19 to address different aspects of daily life we may need extra support with during this time.

Wake Up Narcolepsy's Executive Director, Claire Wylds-Wright talks with Lindsay Jesteadt, Director of Development at Wake Up Narcolepsy. Claire has experiencing homeschooling and Lindsay has a PhD in Educational Leadership with an emphasis on Special Education Policies and Procedures. She has held an assistant principal position and teaching graduate-level students online. Both Claire and Lindsay are parents to children with narcolepsy.

In this discussion, Claire and Lindsay share their current experience homeschooling their kids while working a fulltime job while safer at home protocols are in place. They share insights about the main issues the educational system is facing during the mandated homeschooling. They discuss from their experience the potential positives and negatives for CWN being educated at home. They share resources that may be helpful for students and parents who are experiencing homeschooling during this time.
