Troubleshooting Remote Learning

While the hybrid model of learning in these days of the pandemic is intended to maximize safety and educational effectiveness, we’ve had a number of parents speak with us about technology challenges — while nothing is ever without wrinkles, even with robust planning schools are having significant tech troubles. Everything from systems shutting down, to audio/video issues, to user error (either teacher-side or student-side) — at no fault of anyone’s and we are all in this same new boat together — is causing increasing levels of stress and anxiety from parents. Is my student progressing properly? Is my student engaged? Is this to be a pandemic-slide (much like a ‘summer slide’)?

The domino effect that then occurs is two-fold:
(1) teachers have an increased workload in troubleshooting technical difficulties, planning for both in-person and online lessons, as well as communicating more often with families.
(2) parents — whether working remotely at home, or now once again commuting — have that cloud of confusion and frustration hang over them in their working hours: Is my child on the correct pace for this academic year?
