“If there is one thing we know for certain heading into a new school year, it is this: It is completely unpredictable. 

All around the world, there are variations of emergency remote teaching and learning taking place. Now, in much of North America, educators are faced with the task of planning for an unpredictable new school year. 

As educators, we know that much of this burden for planning, and getting ready for instruction, will fall on us, just as it did when the world began to lockdown. “

The focus of our discussions here will be to consider & explore ways to move out of pandemic pedagogy (what some call “crisis teaching”) and towards a more intentional pedagogy – one that reflects what we know and believe quality teaching and learning to be, whether in-person, online, or an arrangement of both.
