DOVER When Mike Romps kindergarten class of Garrison Elementary School students went to fully remote learning last year, he experienced what he considers one of the greatest challenges in his professional teaching career. I ve been teaching for 20 years, and I felt like a first-year teacher all over again, Romps said. In the beginning we were all just trying to kind of MacGyver it . It was a great deal of work to educate through a screen, and we saw that nothing beats that face-to-face in-person learning.
Romps was one of more than 800 educators and school staff members vaccinated on Friday during a mass vaccination clinic at Dover High School, made possible by a collaborative effort between Dover School District, Dover Fire and Rescue Department and the Strafford County Community Health Network.
