Liz Willen Dear reader,

It’s hard to look ahead at a time when so many of us are struggling with isolation, fear and uncertainty. Yet that’s what we’re doing week after week here at The Hechinger Report, as we ponder the future of learning ([link removed]) in the unprecedented coronavirus era.

It means looking at the science ([link removed]) to anticipate how coronavirus quarantine could change our children. It means finding ways of reaching students without internet ([link removed]) , keeping music classes ([link removed]) going and tracking down students ([link removed]) who rely deeply on their teachers. It means explaining to students ([link removed]) why schools can’t reopen this year, and contemplating what happens when they return.
([link removed])

Please follow our coverage ([link removed]) and tell us what’s happening where you are. And stay healthy!

Liz Willen, Editor

Main Idea


** ‘A drastic experiment in progress’: How will coronavirus change our kids? ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------
Kids are without playmates. Parents are disconnected from other adults who can help them cope. Loneliness may be amplified. There are myriad ways in which our national quarantine could affect kids but little research on it.

------------------------------------------------------------
As the coronavirus crisis shines a harsh light on the digital divide, districts must rely on offline methods of communication and instruction to reach students without internet access at home.



** Coronavirus becomes unprecedented test for teacher-student relationships ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------
When students drop out of online learning amid the pandemic, teachers worry they may never come back.

** Teachers need lots of training to do online learning well. Coronavirus closures gave many just days. ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------
Many schools rush to move instruction online — not the ideal way to launch a new learning platform — leaving teachers to forge ahead on the fly.
