Online Learning

udents with tic disorders are increasingly susceptible to suffer learning loss and other ill effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, specialist says

2020 was a challenging year for everyone, but teachers have widely been acknowledged for their creativity and commitment to students amidst all the sudden changes.

At the outset of COVID, District Administrator Mark Weddig and his team decided online learning had to resemble live, in-person instruction as closely as possible.

The COVID experience and the shift to online learning has shown Superintendent Jill Underly that students in her rural school district are pretty resilient.

Students have attended class in-person throughout 2020-21 in Wisconsin's Turtle Lake School District, a one-building, pre-K through 12 system with an enrollment of 170.

As students return post-COVID, district leaders must ward off more subtle systemic inequities as they address issues of reliable internet access and other student supports.
