We have entered into an unprecedented time in history where the entire country has faced the dilemma of closing schools to keep the public safe while readjusting learning priorities and school spending. Unfortunately, many schools funding depends on income and sales taxes for the majority of their money. Because so many businesses have shut their doors and people remain home, spending within their community has been on the decline. Schools have begun to feel this new financial burden.

Amidst the chaos created by this pandemic, educators have been adapting lesson plans to their district’s chosen remote learning approach, whether that be using learning management systems, collaboration suites, take-home packets, or all of these in various combinations. The option to teach electives like art, music, and physical education, which is even more crucial when schools extend remote learning plans for a longer period of time, takes creativity, tenacity, and courage.

The Comprehensive Learner Record (CLR) is a digital record of a student’s knowledge and accomplishments. The CLR does not replace the traditional academic transcript, but is more useful for students and employers because it documents more than just credits earned.

With schools closed due to Covid-19, students have had to go online to continue their education, but the majority of institutions in America are simply unprepared to handle this new way of learning. According to Emily Feistritzer, in her article, “Online learning: crisis and opportunity,” she says that online instruction can be frustrating for students and parents alike. However, she says most teachers have never had training on online instruction.

Over the course of the past 30 days, at least here in the state of Washington, educators and parents alike have been tirelessly working through the growing pains of converting to a virtual classroom environment. Ensuring students and teachers have both the technology and resources to accommodate online learning have been the top priorities for schools and districts all over the country.
