For Rick Cave, Director of Innovation at West Windsor-Plainsboro Regional School District in New Jersey, the greatest obstacle to rotating throughout the pandemic wasnt the platforms, however individuals.

The below has actually been modified for clarity.

In this conversation with eSchool News, Rick discusses how the changing behaviors of everyone– moms and dads, teachers, and trainees– made remote and now hybrid knowing work– and what elements must stay as soon as the crisis has actually passed.

eSN: What have been the most considerable modifications to your district as an outcome of the pandemic?

RC: I think the greatest factor the pandemic has truly brought forward is that of independent trainee option and student-centered instruction. Weve constantly attempted to build around that idea but, Ill be truthful, its not something everyone always welcomes. When you walk into a lot of classrooms, you still see very, really traditional instruction– instructors standing in front of the classrooms. What was intriguing in this environment is teachers learned quite quickly that lecturing to a Zoom screen is really inadequate. So there became that awareness that, now, perhaps we need to do something more. Maybe we cant just be, “Im going to begin pumping out this info and you have to kind of digest all of it.”
