Over the past year, we have all been challenged in many different ways. We have been separated from our students, dealt with loss, and coped with fear. Through it all, teachers found a way to keep teaching students. I learned a great deal from my first go at "distance learning," and I am better prepared to implement it again as a result of my experience. As we prepare for this upcoming school year, I will be prepared for any plan that involves distance learning. Below are some things I have learned through "pandemic education," and some plans and ideas I have for this school year. I can't help but to dream of the day our classrooms get back to normal, but until then, I will be as prepared as possible to help my students achieve their goals!
