Finding new ways to teach
By Daniel Arens
In a matter of days, the entire basis of the nation’s modern education system, including here in Hazen, was turned upside down.
Now, teachers are likely to finish out the school year from their home computers rather than their desks or whiteboards.
Of course, what distance learning looks like will vary from teacher to teacher, both due to their own unique styles and due to the specific challenges with converting each of their own subjects into an online format.
Making the adjustment
A little over a month ago, an extended spring break saw people in the Hazen School District trying to come to grips with the fact they weren’t going back into the school buildings for an extended time. For the teachers, the extension was hardly a break, as they needed to find ways to implement the curriculum of their final two months of content into a format that could be used by the district’s Microsoft Teams program.
