As schools mark one year of pandemic learning, many are realizing that online learning is their preferred model for teaching and learning

No one could have imagined the impact a global pandemic would have on the education landscape. Educators were asked to pivot and teach online with almost no notice.

Students have been working hard, trying to adjust to the new online learning environment, and doing their best to keep up.

These efforts have been heroic, but they have also taken their toll. Tales of exhaustion and burnout by teachers, and isolation and frustration by students, are common and often accompanied by cries of wanting to go back to schools and get back to “normal.” For many, this crisis has resulted in serious negative outcomes, including academic backsliding and depression.
