Abstract

The start of the school year 2020 was a tumultuous time for stakeholders. Parents had to make accommodations for school programs. Teachers and students on the frontlines had to make mental and physical adjustments to in-person and online learning. No matter how one looks at it, post Covid-19 school will never be the same. This article takes a deep dive into why schools that had to adjust learners will be in a more situated space to ensure learning occurs in a manner consistent with schools that provide high-quality instruction for students and families.
