Since COVID-19 forced school closures last spring, millions of children have been in “virtual school” — attending classes solely via video from their homes. While some schools have now reopened, large numbers of disadvantaged students are still learning only online. Experts have focused on how virtual school has affected children, especially low-income students who often face multiple barriers to successful online learning. But how is the pandemic affecting their teachers? Please join AEI for a conversation with four educators from disadvantaged communities in California’s Bay Area. What is virtual teaching like day-to-day? How has it affected them as teachers? How is it affecting their students’ learning? And when all schools finally reopen, how can the most-vulnerable children’s needs be addressed? Photo credit: Twenty20!
