Restart and Recovery: Considerations for Teaching and Learning

School system leaders are working around the clock to prepare for a new school year that will bring unprecedented challenges. As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, schools will need to find creative ways to support students academically, socially, and emotionally—whether in-person, virtually, or a combination of both.

To help system leaders address those challenges, TNTP partnered with the Council of Chief State School Officers to create a detailed guide on planning for—and restarting—teaching and learning in the 2020-21 school year. The guide, which includes advice and companion resources on system conditions, wellbeing and connection, academics, and state policy, is designed to help system leaders:

Plan for a strong launch and school year in a rapidly shifting environment,
Prioritize equity for all students, and
Jumpstart the process of providing teaching and learning guidance.
