In Montana, a few small-town school districts have started reopening in a limited capacity. Here's a look at what they're doing — and what problems need to be addressed as states look ahead, according to experts.
Regardless of the particular path any district takes, the pandemic is likely to be a turning point as far as the role of technology in public, K-12 education.
The plans envision schools running in parallel, both online and in-person. That requires huge investments going forward in materials, equipment and training for teachers, and equipment and connectivity for families.Beyond the risk of spreading the virus, there's a laundry list of other concerns to consider, both the AFT and AEI plans say. Learning loss. Missed socialization. A probable increase inand domestic violence while students have been home. Lost family members.
A related idea is to bring the kids with likely higher needs back to campus early, or keep them there longer, such as for summer school. As Troy, Mont., and schools in other countries like Israel have done, should educators focus on bringing back special education services first? "What data is it OK to share?" asks Rick Hess at AEI, who co-authored the report."If we're talking about tracking and tracing, we're getting very invasive."
