The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on PK-12 education has halted
traditional education but has also fostered innovation in distance
learning, parental involvement in their children's education, and
families' coping mechanisms when forced to "self-quarantine." The
educational community is thirsting for strategies, methods, and
tools to help with prevention of gaps in the education of youth
during this pandemic and in preparation of future global crises.
Educational Recovery for PK-12 Education During and After a
Pandemic builds awareness of the needs prevalent to the education
of PK-12 students effectively during and after the COVID-19
pandemic and provides tools and strategies to assist these students
as they grapple with new teaching and learning styles. This book
provides timely information to support new modes of teaching and
learning during this unprecedented time and fosters traditional
methods of education while concurrently respecting guidelines set
by the CDC to keep students safe and eliminate gaps in learning. It
also benefits the educational community by leading the field in
innovative steps to effectively educate PK-12 students so they will
continue to be contributing members of society albeit surviving the
most devastating epidemic in the last 100 years. Focusing on a wide
range of topics such as student mental health, learning gaps, and
best teaching practices, this book is ideal for teachers,
administrators, district superintendents, counselors,
psychologists, social workers, parents, academicians, researchers,
and students.
