I think we can come up with great, creative, innovative ideas if we stop thinking about schooling in the way that we did prior to Spring Break.  We should start thinking about our district (or regions or whatever small group) as having no walls, no boundaries--one staff, one student body...and then determine how to maximize the staff for the student needs beyond the school building walls.

...The idea hinges on simple math. After someone is infected, it takes an average of three days before they can infect someone else. That means that people can theoretically work or attend school together for a short time if they then spend another stretch of time on lockdown—four days of work followed by 10 days at home. If they have gotten sick during their time at work, it will show up during their 10 days off and they won’t come into work for their next 4-day shift.

Teachers have been responsible for a set of students and a broad set of learning outcomes in a particular place and time.  Now, time, place and pace are disrupted.  We should adapt to that and let teachers lead with their strengths based on the need and their context.  Some handling synchronous work.  Some building content/modules.  Some providing asynchronous and meaningful feedback.
