Liz WillenDear reader,
 
It’s hard to look ahead at a time when so many of us are struggling with isolation, fear and uncertainty. Yet that’s what we’re doing week after week here at The Hechinger Report, as we ponder the future of learning in the unprecedented coronavirus era.
 
It means looking at the science to anticipate how coronavirus quarantine could change our children. It means finding ways of reaching students without internet, keeping music classes going and tracking down students who rely deeply on their teachers. It means explaining to students why schools can’t reopen this year, and contemplating what happens when they return.
 
Please follow our coverage and tell us what’s happening where you are. And stay healthy!

Liz Willen, Editor

Main Idea 

‘A drastic experiment in progress’: How will coronavirus change our kids?  

Kids are without playmates. Parents are disconnected from other adults who can help them cope. Loneliness may be amplified. There are myriad ways in which our national quarantine could affect kids but little research on it.

Learning to teach from naughty avatars

Virginia study finds prospective teachers improve their handling of student misbehavior when training simulations are combined with human coaching.
 

Teachers need lots of training to do online learning well. Coronavirus closures gave many just days.

Many schools rush to move instruction online — not the ideal way to launch a new learning platform — leaving teachers to forge ahead on the fly.
