2021 School Reopening Teaching Guide

As February of 2021 comes to an end, it is beginning to look more and more likely that students will be returning to school just in time to close the 2020-21 School Year.

So what should teachers do?

-Compress a year's worth of knowledge into a few weeks?

-Highlight the main themes that should have been covered throughout the course?

-Daily pop quizzes to assess student learning?

-Open the classroom so students can hang out and talk?

No doubt that each case will have to be handled uniquely as it best fits the needs of the students in each particular classroom, according to grade level and subject being taught, but overall it will require a combined approach that will give students a sense of normality while preparing them for the uncertainties of their educational future.

MRCR Education has created a Teaching Guide to help teachers navigate the upcoming school reopening.  We hope you find it useful and helps you guide your students as they transition back into the classroom setting.

February 2021

 

As February marches on, and the new year begins to settle into our lives, we take time to acknowledge the contributions and accomplishments of African Americans, we join with the Asian community as they celebrate the Lunar New Year to welcome the year of the Ox, we tell our loved ones how much they mean to us during Valentine's day, celebrate President's Day reflecting on leadership, and have one last hurrah New Orleans style during Mardi Gras before taking penance during lent season.

The NFL season comes to an end with the Super Bowl game and racing fans rev up their engines as the Daytona 500 starts the new season of NASCAR.

Finally, as vaccines for COVID become available to the public, the world can slowly begin to retake control of the traditional aspects of daily life like dining, exercising, and even going back to school, while maintaining vigilance and caution with regards to possible surges for the foreseeable future.
