The Distance Learning Playbook
. What did you learn from crisis teaching? What will be useful in the future? Or, if you are not doing your residency, think of your experience as a student. What did you learn from being a student during the pandemic? What will be useful in your future practice given your own experiences?
Although I was not doing my residency when schools were shifting instruction from face-to-face classrooms to virtual ones, I could see how important it was to ensure students were still feeling connected and supported academically and social-emotionally. I learned that virtual teaching requires teachers to make learning engaging and socially interactive, provide fun ways to practice and apply what they have learned, and implement technology to enhance their learning. Fisher, Frey, and Hattie (2020) also informed us the importance of teaching content that students do not know and providing timely feedbacks when teaching virtually (p. 171). These ideas are all
useful for my future classroom, whether it is distance, blended, or in-person. It has been over 2 years since the pandemic began and caused unprecedented circumstances, but I will take what I learned from this crisis and make learning better for my students and improve my teaching.

The Assessment Playbook for Distance & Blended Learning 92-110
(Section 3. Assessment Upgrades)
Take some time to reflect on the required reading this week from the
Assessment Playbook
. What
resonated with you the most? How will it impact your practice moving forward? Provide specific
examples from the text in your response.
After reading The Assessment Playbook for Distance and Blended Learning
, what resonated with me the most was the description of “assessments as the wind that drives the pinwheel” (p. 107). This provided a helpful visual of how important assessments are. Without assessments and the data we collect and analyze from them, it becomes difficult to move forward in learning. They help us make instructional decisions based on the needs of our students (Fisher et al., 2021,
p. 109). Moving forward, my teaching will be dependent on the information I receive from collecting and analyzing data. I will form instructions based on what my students need rather than what they already know and create coaching sessions if needed. I can also review our learning intentions and success criteria to ensure students understand what it is we are learning and how we will know we have learned it.
