Restart & Recovery: Considerations for Teaching & Learning

State, school system, and school leaders are facing a tremendous and urgent need to plan, launch, and sustain a strong school year—setting up every student for success in the wake of COVID-19 related closures, while prioritizing health, safety, and equity. To support states and school systems as they plan to restart schools and recover student learning loss, the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO) developed “ Restart and Recovery: Considerations for Teaching and Learning,” a fully-customizable series of vetted resources addressing system-level conditions, academics, and student wellbeing. These resources were created at the request of state leaders and with the input of a wide body of organizations and experts, including educators from nearly 30 states. Education leaders, as well as professional learning providers, can customize and adapt this guidance as they develop their local plans to meet the needs of the educators and students they support. We urge you to check it out.
