Many educators prefer beginning with instruction on grade level or resuming with what was being taught when schools closed, according to a survey.

Postponement of SATs and ACTs, and the elimination of other standardized tests, shows their academic value has been overestimated, says one superintendent.

Providing broadband internet access this summer to 9 million students who aren't connected to online learning would cost more than $7 billion.

Providing books that students can read and relate to not only supports literacy, reading comprehension, and language growth but also offers a social-emotional boost during coronavirus closures.

The challenges of online learning, including family stress and students' lack of access to technology, has led superintendents to close early and begin preparing for fall 2020.

School districts across the U.S. are getting books into the hands of ELL students to maintain literacy and reading comprehension skills while classrooms are closed. 

Superintendents are now diving into the nitty-gritty as they look ahead to reopening schools safely in fall 2020 and welcoming students back into classrooms that may look a lot different.

Ideas are emerging for fall 2020 as school leaders foresee blending in-person and online learning for different groups of students on alternating days and in the evenings.
