Suddenly Distant and Still in Flux:
The Implications of COVID-19 for K12 Teachers’ Work and Schooling
On January 13, 2021, the Suddenly Distant Research Project Team presented the emergent findings of their research at an online forum hosted by the University of California, Santa Cruz and moderated by Professor and Education Department Chair Cynthia Lewis.
The presentation drew on in-depth interviews with 75 teachers in nine states to explore the ways that state and local responses to the pandemic have reshaped schooling and teachers’ working lives, affected teachers’ work/family lives, and exacerbated as well as abated long standing educational equity issues.
Professor Lora Bartlett and research team members discussed the patterns that have emerged, the implications for the teaching profession and K-12 schooling, and offered insights into teachers’ feelings about how schools can best navigate this crisis.
