Dr. Evans’ shares new insights from recent research
We have all been talking for quite a while about what will be the lasting impact of the pandemic and school disruptions on K-12 education. Here is a new unintended impact for you to think about and provide your own analysis of this research insight.
Click here to provide your thoughts on this insight from an interview Dr. Evans recently conducted with a Deputy Superintendent. Per Dr. Evans:
“Some teachers may have gotten a bit too comfortable with virtual teaching. In a recent interview, a Deputy Superintendent explained to me that she has been observing that some teachers are continuing to teach as if they are virtual when they are in fact in class with their students. The students are all sitting at their desks using their Chromebooks to log into a virtual class that is being conducted by the teacher from her desk in the same classroom. No virtual students – all face-to-face in class – but not interacting as if they are physically in class. Per this leader, it may not just be the students who need to re-learn how to interact and collaborate in physical classrooms now. Our teachers may also need a refresher on how to effectively engage their students in learning that is not digitally facilitated.”
