LET'S start with a few

  
Fact: E-learning is here to stay, with or without COVID-19, and it is crucial to address the digital divide now.
Fact: Stress can cause feelings of fear, anger, sadness, and worry.
Fact: When comparing a student's performance in fall 2020 to performance from fall 2019, students in grades 3-8 preformed similarly in reading to same-grade students in fall 2019.  However, the math achievement of students in 2020 was about 5 to 10 percentile points lower compared to same-grade students the prior year. (Brookings Institute, 2020)
Fact: Instruction and support for students with learning and physical disabilities are not as easily transferred to the internet, and school systems and families are struggling to meet the challenge. (pewresearch.org, 2020)
​Fact: Ed-tech tools must be inclusive and accessible.  CLICK HERE for COOL TECH TOOLS!
