For many schools, it has been nearly two months of remote learning. Many schools around the world are facilitating remote learning for the remainder of this academic year and possibly longer, and we can take this as an opportunity to try new ideas.

Memorial Day weekend for some meant taking the space to acknowledge and mourn fellow battle buddies. Memorial Day weekend for Black people meant waking up from what was considered to be “a long weekend of rest” to seeing white people use their power and privilege against Black bodies on more than one occasion. It’s attempting to balance the need to talk about George Floyd and Christian Cooper, while suppressing the pain and fear heard in both of their voices as if they knew death was around the

The shift to remote learning has proved to schools just how essential accessibility, connectivity, teacher training, data privacy and wise tech spending are to create a successful learning environment online. That transition also revealed another key lesson: School districts can’t afford to be slow. “The idea of the old-world infrastructure taking weeks or months to get up to speed really came to life as we all instantaneously tried to move to remote learning,” said Chad Stevens, leader for K–12

Before technology transformed K–12 education, IT professionals and teachers mostly stayed in their own lanes: IT staff kept systems humming behind the scenes, while educators handled the classroom. Today, those lines are blurry, if not altogether erased. In fact, when the Consortium for School Networking asked IT leaders about their role in supporting teaching and learning, 76 percent said it is to “be more responsive to educator IT needs,” according to CoSN’s 2019 K–12 IT Leadership Survey R

The homework gap is not a new issue. For many years, there's been a significant population of students who are unable to complete homework assignments because they don't have adequate access to devices or broadband internet outside of school. But switching to remote learning has made that issue more pronounced. When the pandemic forced mandatory school closures nationwide, many school districts had to rush to make sure students — and even teachers — had both the devices and internet connectivity

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.

The displacement of more than 40 million American workers from the employment ranks creates an unprecedented challenge. And community colleges will likely play a key role in helping prepare those workers for jobs as economies restart. Before the pandemic, the economy was operating close to full employment, and the education and training establishments were equipped with reasonably accurate labor data about what academic and occupational programs were in demand.

HENDERSON, Nev. — The menu at the diner where Amy Nelson likes to take a break from work is notable for its side dishes, including caramelized bananas, cinnamon apples and mushrooms and onions. This story also appeared in Wired. Each can feed an appetite in its own right. And together with an entrée, they add up to breakfast. That’s much like the radically new way Nelson and a small number of other pioneering students have been experiencing college.

If you want to understand a school’s values and priorities, look at its transcripts. Like sedimentary rocks, schedules can reveal where—and even why—gaps between student potential and opportunity emerge and where they begin to calcify. Years from now, when we look back on how the pandemic transformed education, transcripts will read like a “tale of the tape” for how we addressed—and sought to correct—systemic inequities within our schools.

One of the things I have heard the most throughout this time of COVID-19 is that teachers and coaches feel a sense of inadequacy. Defeat. Frustration. Hopelessness. Most of all, coaches feel a sense of overwhelm. In the transition to remote learning, instructional coaches – especially those with an emphasis on digital learning – have become the most sought after resources by teachers and administrators.
