More Districts Should Seize the Opportunity to Improve Professional Learning for Teachers

From the article: "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. Our nationwide scan found some promising efforts by school districts to support professional learning despite massive logistical hurdles and a tangle of red tape. But we also see significant missed opportunities to improve support for teachers. School systems owe it to their teachers and students to push further, building systems that will help teachers meet the current crisis and adjust course as they go—and possibly build stronger professional learning systems for the future."
