The Future of K-12 Education as a Result of the COVID-19 Pandemic
Abstract: A survey of 108 K-12 educators teaching during the 2020-2021 school year in public, private, charter, and alternative school settings was conducted resulting in a variety of responses from participants noting both the challenges and value of their virtual, remote, and blended teaching experiences. Through the framework of the social-ecological model and the technological, pedagogical, and content knowledge (TPACK) framework, this article seeks to provide recommendations and predictions for future academic years and the lasting impacts from COVID-19 in school settings, specific to how the teacher’s role, the school administration’s role, and the government’s role will all be impacted in the coming decade of education.
