From the blog: "Remote learning requires teachers to confront new challenges, like assessing the impact of instructional time students lost last spring and supporting students with disabilities or those with mental health needs that might have grown worse after the pandemic. And it’s forcing teachers to rethink the ways they give feedback on student work, track discipline and attendance, and encourage their students to direct their own learning. Districts have an urgent need to find new ways to help teachers learn on the job and hone their craft. They also have new opportunities to do this differently. Since far more teacher professional development is happening virtually, school systems have new opportunities to bring in the best providers or forge new collaborations across district lines."
