Teaching and Learning: Sharing Ideas from Quarantine

Adjusting to this demanding situation has been difficult.  How to continue to educate the nation’s children is a specific challenge.  For many teachers this has been a crash course on distance learning; for many parents this has been a window into the daily work of teachers; and for many students it has been an experience of loss—of friends, of resources, of daily rituals.  We asked educators we work with to share both the challenges and the successes they are experiencing in this “anything but normal” time. Much of what they shared may be quite familiar and offers some comfort that we are all in this together.  Some of what they shared may give you new ideas and inspiration.
