What about planning for more outdoor learning environments? Safer for the pandemic and engaging for students.What about trying a year without grades?Zoom sessions with everyone reading silently at home?But in a sort of shared space?

I wonder if it would be a good idea to have semester-long projects in classes. Something like the "wild boar" example in that Harvard Ed article. Let students frame their projects according to their interests and then teach skills within those individual frames.I used to do that with I-Search research projects that would last for months. Loved that structure. Students were motivated, and there was some great peer-to-peer learning and more time for teacher-student conferencing within the classroom.

districts and/or government- provide students with tech, internet access, food

Teachers and families need to establish some means of contact if in-person instruction is not possible (email, phone calls?) How can we ensure that students whose parents must work outside the home are getting the assistance they need?

Counselors are more important than ever to aid students in transition to online learning, dealing with social distancing, navigating grades/testing/applications in this new environment

How are we going to identify what is failing? How will we know what needs to stop immediately and what needs more time to work properly?

How do we build good systems for student feedback?

Create transportation plans to allow for social distancing. Consider re-districting students from overcrowded schools to enable smaller uniform class sizes throughout the district

Use interpersonal, face-to-face engagement with all students to check in on their current attitudes towards schooling & mental health

Rather than implementing rules and expecting teachers to quickly adjust, administrators should follow the advice and lead of teachers to address needs specific to their individual classes, students, and situations

Prioritize funding for education over other, arguably more superfluous budgetary areas

# data[].attributes.body
identify resources families and students will need to facilitate learning outside of school - internet access, quiet/private space, food, physical/emotional safety, social interactions (kids need other kids). How can those resources be provided? How do we do classes like physical education, art, music, etc. that require specialized space/equipment students may not have at home?

Also, what do *teachers* need to do work? Consider how under-resourced they already are - how might that impact their ability to teach? Do they know how to use the technology? Do they have good wifi? etc.

become familiar with platforms for digital learning (e.g. google classroom), establish a routine for learning at home (when do we take screen breaks, how are devices shared between multiple children) and sanitation practices for in-school learning

expand what we consider classroom learning. At home instruction allows for more opportunities for k-12 to interact w people/organizations/internships/research projects as learning activities instead of simply classroom lectures

Balance the resources and funding of schools in favor of teachers. Let teachers, rather than letting intermediaries who don't directly participate in the instructional core, dictate where resources are allocated.

HOW DO WE SUPPORT STUDENTS TO DEVELOP INTRINSIC MOTIVATION? Rewards and punishment system of grades  - motivation?  Intrinsic motivation/extrinsic - introduction of incentives distorts intrinsic

Difficulty in setting professional/career goals - esp for older students - what is it okay to strive after?  WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF SCHOOL?

Who should have agency, and control of resources - including time? Money and power - who holds it and what is their incentive to hear insights and needs from "the field" or those closest to the instructional core (teacher, student, content)?

What is the role of peer-to-peer learning, safety and trust?

Class size

Common goal - students feeling invested in learning. Removing standardized tests - what happens next?

Shifting agency - how do we promote that and encourage students at every level to use the power they've been given?
