Using Nearpod and Flocabulary made my lessons very engaging and fun.  
The biggest challenge was reaching out to those students who did not come online whether it was due to technology issues, or just because they would rather be in school.
For the upcoming school year, students will have to learn the routines of being in school again.
How much skills did our students really gain during this past year, especially

This school year was indeed challenging. I learned a lot about my students and myself. I appreciate the fact that I was still able to build great relationships with my students in spite of online learning. For the upcoming school year, I would like to continue and move forward on the path of building strong and solid relationships with both my students and colleagues. I look forward to creating a nurturing learning environment that is grounded in social emotional support.

One of the things that went well was being able to use all of the different online and interactive resources. A challenge to that, especially at the beginning was students who didn't have the right equipment. Some of them gave up because of the frustration.

What went well: Most students were very consistent with their work, class attendance and focus. In addition, the system provided a network that did not fail even for a day. I applaud them for that.

This school year was indeed challenging. I learned a lot about my students and myself; the importance of taking accountability. I appreciate the fact that I was able to build great relationships with my students and colleagues in spite of the 'new normal'. For the upcoming school year, I would like to continue and move forward on the path of building strong and solid relationships with both my students and colleagues and become a stronger educator. This year has made me a stronger educator! I look forward to creating a nurturing learning environment that is grounded in social emotional support; teaching students the importance of taking accountability and being patient as we navigate all of the changes that life is bringing our way. I look forward to continue growing and developing as a person and an educator as I apply every lesson that I learned this school year to the upcoming school year.

The past year was filled with a lot of uncertainty but as we face these uncertainties we were able to work through them as a group. Our students have been incredibly resilient in facing these difficult times.

We did the best we could in a reality we were not ready for. I miss seeing students face to face, I know it's better for them to be in school in person, but I think as much of a trauma as the pandemic has been for them (and all of us), transition to the classroom will be welcomed but will create another set of stressors we will need to address

# data[].attributes.body
I think a focus should be placed on their basic needs for students coming back... making sure they have nutritious food in the building (some kids don’t eat the food there), making sure they have clean clothes, school appropriate clothing... it’s so simple but it makes a world of difference

# data[].attributes.body
I found that students needed time to talk about their concerns. Daily conversations with the class seemed to help jump-start class and instruction.

# data[].attributes.headline
Challenges, which were always, was getting and keeping students engaged. I worry about transitions when we go back. How will those students who were freshman adjust to being in the building, maybe, for the first time.

Ms. Rosenblum- The silver lining of this year was learning about all kinds of interactive technology based resources that we can use in the upcoming school years that I would never have known about before.

During this school year I realized even more how important the social aspect of school is.  I was told by a school counselor this week that the Pediatric Psychology Ward in Kings County is at capacity.  The socialization in school helps students not only emotionally but academically as well.  A positive thing from this year was that I learned a lot with regards to incorporating technology in the classroom. A challenge that I faced this year was getting students to participate and get involved.  I wonder how we ALL are going to deal with the transition.

I think the sink-or-swim plunge into tech (for teachers and students), --although frigid, abrupt--we'll look back and, say, hey, we learned a lot about applications we wouldn't have. Regarding challenges: we know them already, but inattentiveness, distraction, lack of motivation...

# data[].attributes.body
The only thing that went well was getting to be in-person with students. We got to learn more about each other with very small class sizes and students who want to use the computer lab that I’m usually in for their other classes.

# data[].attributes.body
Around the emotional learning I think students would need to be aware of how to speak about the pandemic without offending other that may have lost someone.
In addition, students will need spaces to learn how to engage and have fun as well as learning.

# data[].attributes.body
What did go well were the subjects covered within the class. 10th grade seem to be interested in culture itself. A challenge what getting students to express in detail about themselves. I feel students will needs to do a lot of self reflection in order to really be able to express freely.

# data[].attributes.body
When I reflect on this past year I remember so many incredibly rich discussions and dialogues with my students, which have grown even more rich throughout the year as the students have built their understandings and skills. But I keep thinking about the students who are not participating, those students who rarely log in, or who log in but never participate, those students who we have to chase down for every assignment in the last few days of the marking period. I really worry about them because they haven't gotten the education they deserve this year. Next year, I hope those students will get the attention they need and that they won't be able to fade into the background anymore once they're actually present in the classroom. It's easy and important to celebrate successes and joyful moments but I am really haunted by those students who have not had a successful year due to factors nobody could control.

Unfortunately, we were not all able to be there to see our students and interact personally. We will ALL need social/emotional care to ensure we heal from this trying year....

Many people keep talking about "learning loss" but the priority I think should be on socio-emotional well-being ... the kids have been disconnected from the social experience of school ... even the ones who have been coming in aren't getting the "normal" experience. There's a lot of connecting and healing work that needs to be prioritized.

# data[].attributes.body
I think what went well was being able to still connect to many of my students. I was worried that remote learning would mean I could not get to know my students well. But many times, during class and after class, my students would stick around and keep asking questions, vent about their frustrations etc. However, many of my students had a hard time getting engaged online. I know they wanted to learn, and they expressed this to me outside of class, but they just could not get themselves to stay engaged online. I think the students (especially my 9th graders) will need some help acclimating to in person learning. My 9th graders didn't get a real high school experience yet and I think it would be great to add events etc.

In preparation for the upcoming year, Students will need a great big welcome back.  Our first day should be like a "BGHS homecoming" for them.  Addressing their SEL and reintroducing new rituals and routines. Providing opportunities for them to reconnect with each other and teachers.

This School Year was filled with uncertainty and change, both within the classroom and within the world. There are so many students that I never saw face to face, and it's jarring that there are faces I won't immediately be able to put a name to. However, I know their voices, I know there little mannerisms as they type, I know their writing and how much they've grown and I find so much comfort and peace within that. Next year we have to be patient with students. They have to be not only academically challenged but also resocialized into the space of the classroom. Nevertheless, I am full of hope!
