| Abstract: | The challenges of virtual learning have been well documented during the last year as districts have focused on providing students with devices and internet access, debated developmental appropriateness of virtual learning, engaged teachers in professional development activities about how to design and deliver meaningful online lessons, worried about learning loss, worked to lead and manage change for all stakeholders, and more. Instead of looking at the challenges as obstacles, in this report the authors look at what has been learned from these challenges--the new skills, different capacities that have been developed, and the resilience they see from teachers and students every day. The hurried adoption of virtual learning was a shock, but it also had benefits that will endure after returning to classrooms. The authors share how the teachers they work with have seized the moment to focus even more deeply on students' needs. |
