National Comprehensive Center at Westat
COVID-19 has had a profound impact on all aspects of lives, including how to teach students. It is clear that the K-12 education system as it was known has changed. The pandemic has stressed each level of the education system: the state education agency (SEA), regional education agencies (REA), local education agencies (LEA), tribal education agencies (TEA), and schools. There are immediate needs such as reopening schools, however there are also opportunities to rethink the way schools have been doing things and make the schools that students return to even better than when they left. There are also unprecedented challenges associated with the uncertainties caused by the pandemic. This suite of resources is designed to help SEAs, LEAs, and schools think through their immediate needs as they address issues related to COVID-19. Specific icons are used throughout the document to call attention to tools, examples, and ideas. Discussion questions follow each section and resources to address gaps identified through the discussion questions are included in the Appendices. While the tools and resources in this document address issues related to the pandemic, they can also be applied to any complex problem or disruption. The document guides education leaders as they revamp education systems by highlighting decision points in key operational areas; and providing relevant resources, tools, and discussion questions to be considered to support the successful reopening of schools in the fall. Leaders are encouraged to simultaneously start thinking about the pandemic's longer-term effects and needs (12-18 months out) as they work in the short-term to revamp education systems to serve the needs of all students. For a broad and comprehensive list of links to resources to address these complex issues, see Appendix A, "Reopening School Resources."
