To develop an understanding of what teaching was like during the COVID-impacted 2020-21 academic school year, researchers interviewed U.S. pK-12 teachers from across the country in public, charter, and private schools, at different grade levels, and in different subject areas. The primary message they heard from teachers is that they have not been valued as partners in designing educational responses to COVID.

The U.S. Department of Education produced a 3-part series to aid educators in implementing the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines for the safe reopening of K-12 schools and institutes of higher education (IHE).

Volume 3 was developed to provide initial answers to some of the most pressing questions for colleges, students, and families facing these challenges. The Handbook shares implementation stories and relevant information from the field, ranging from the full-time, on-campus recent high school graduate, to the returning student seeking re-training through online, part-time programming while balancing work and family, to the immigrant seeking English language skills, civics education, job training, and a high school equivalency with postsecondary on-ramps.

Widespread school closures are unprecedented, but the use of education technology and online learning to reach across distances, teach refugee and disaster-impacted communities, and expand the possibilities of schooling is quite common. In Failure to Disrupt: Why Technology Alone Can't Transform Education, MIT professor Justin Reich looks through the history of instructor-guided courses like MOOCs, algorithm-guided tools like adaptive tutors, and peer-guided spaces like networked learning communities. He argues that education technology has never sweepingly transformed schools, but there are specific tools and approaches that work well in certain subjects with certain students.

Teaching working adults is different from teaching typical students. As companies and schools around the world have moved to remote instruction, many are grappling with questions of how to do it in the most effective way. Fortunately, some universities already have solid experience and lessons that they’re willing to share with groups that are navigating the transition.
