As schools prepare to accommodate more in-person learning, many are opting for a hybrid schedule that divides the student body into two groups that will alternate days on campus to keep numbers lower in classrooms and allow for social distancing. Typically, the hybrid schedule includes an all-virtual day–usually on a Monday or a Wednesday. The all-virtual day gives the teacher time to plan, host office hours, or work online with individual or small groups of students who need additional support.

Students may now be learning from home, but many teachers still think in terms of the classroom, whether it’s a virtual one or in a brick-and-mortar building. That’s why collaboration platforms such as Microsoft Teams have become so valuable during the pandemic. They provide an all-in-one hub that help teachers replicate — with a few modifications for the digital realm — many of the same activities that are part of their classroom routines.

A perilous political moment is over, but white supremacy remains. Over the past four years of former President Donald Trump’s administration, resistance took on urgent, even life-or-death, importance. We lived through an attempted coup incited at the highest level of government. An unabashed homegrown bigotry took over the national stage. Our kids witnessed the full weight of state violence from their homes, while attending our schools virtually.

Online learning can both hinder and hold back a child. During this past year, educators and students across the country have grappled with how to adapt to online learning challenges. I have worked in online schools for over the past 5 years, and I have seen online learning be a lifesaver for students that struggled in brick-and-mortar classrooms. Online learning gives students the ability to work from home, but that can also mean too much freedom for some.

At Sonora Elementary School , we’ve been fortunate to be able to offer in-person classes to most of our students this year. Our district gave all students a fully online option as well as the option to return fully in-person or blended. At the beginning of the school year, about 500 of our 600 students came back full-time, and by November we only had approximately 20 students who were still blended.

The instructor’s PPT slides are brilliant. You’ve splurged on the expensive interactive courseware. Student engagement is stellar. So… why are half of your students still forgetting everything they learned in just a matter of weeks? It's likely a matter of cognitive science! With so much material to "teach" these days, we often forget to incorporate key proven principles into our curricula — namely active recall, metacognition, spaced repetition, and interleaving practice.
