Across the country, local networks known as Education Innovation Clusters (EdClusters) are bringing together partners and resources to meet urgent needs and envision a new future for teaching and learning. Many of these efforts are rooted in long-standing partnerships across sectors and institutions.

Like nearly everyone else, children have experienced enormous disruption during the pandemic. Their schools closed months ago and, for many, remain closed. They stopped seeing friends and teachers on a regular basis, or had to get used to seeing them through a screen. Many of the things they love or look forward to have become unavailable or, at minimum, altered.

In the struggle to implement expanded remote learning, educators are also finding opportunities. Out of necessity, they are integrating more technology into instruction. They’re discussing and chipping away at long-standing digital divides. They are leveraging the flexibility to provide on-demand instruction. But with efforts to provide devices and Wi-Fi access, educators still are missing — or inadvertently reducing — opportunities to better serve all students.

By definition, the word hybrid means “composed of mixed parts.” Until now, that has meant two parts: in school – where we largely haven’t been since mid-March – and at home. When COVID-19 hit, we shut the classroom door and jumped into virtual learning with virtually no planning. Planning includes, but is not limited to, physical preparation and measures, social adaptation, ensuring emotional well-being, reassessing traditional educational standards – seeing them through a new lens – and having

Our country is shifting before our eyes, from a global pandemic and a movement for racial equity, and it’s time to rethink and recenter what’s important. Just like with any major historical event, we will have to adapt and look to the future. And that, for me, means how we approach education. While we don’t know what this next school year will look like, there are a few things that are certain: it will be challenging and there will be a lot of unknowns.

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.

I miss teaching. Well, I have been teaching. I suppose what I really mean is that I miss teaching as I used to know it. When I left my preschool classroom in March, I thought I would be returning after a week of spring break. Toys were tossed into baskets and finger paintings hung crookedly on the walls. Almost six months later, after countless hours of remote instruction, professional development and classroom renovation, I am preparing to welcome my young students back to school.
