Many schools across Arizona have opened their doors on Monday, but traditional classroom settings won't be found at most of them. While most of the schools are following virtual formats, the governor mandated some open physically for students who need a place to be. According to AZ Central, "space is limited, and districts and charter school operators are prioritizing these services for students with disabilities, English-language learners, students who qualify for free and reduced lunch, children in foster care, students without reliable access to technology and students whose parents are essential workers."
Some schools are providing socially distanced rooms for virtual online learning, such as in the case of students without access to technology. For special needs students, many schools are trying to lower classroom size dramatically while still having in-person instruction. Time will tell how these different methods fare, and I think we're all watching and waiting to see what happens.
What do you think of the way schools in your area are handling the situation of reopening? Let me know...
