How does global health impact education and what educational lessons have…

- - - - research predicted learners to have absorbed 70% learning of content in 2020... a significant drop (Kuhfeld et al., 2020)
        
        "the COVID-19 pandemic would lead to very unequal opportunities for learning depending on whether students had access to technology and parental support during the school closures, which would result in greater heterogeneity in terms of learning gains/losses in 2020" (Kuhfeld et al., 2020)
        
        Very relatable prediction that applies to students in our district
        
        some students did not have access to laptops and did not complete activities to advance their learning
        
        other students had parents with a stable job and successful business that did not get shut down during the pandemic...thus, these learners got an abundance of support at home to advance their learning
        
        "disruption affecting five million kindergarten to Grade 12 students [...] the coronavirus generation has fallen months behind" (Bennett, 2020)
        
        UNESCO implemented the COVID-19 Global Education Coalition aiding nations for kids falling behind in academics (Canadian Commission for UNESCO, 2020)
        
        Teacher's Toolkit for all ages
        
        global citizenship
        
        inclusivity
        
        digital citizenship
        
        Indigenous education and reconciliation
  - - - in-person learning leads to growth in a student's social and personal awareness + knowledge gained (Burgess & Sievertsen, 2020)
- - - - Working with a counsellor to provide students with strategies other than technology that are a way to deal with stress healthily
    - - "substantial disparities between families in the extent to which they can help their children learn" (Burgess & Sievertsen, 2020)
        
        too onerous on parents and not enough collab with teacher, parent and student to make it work
  - - - students, parents and educators had little to no planning, especially with technology to effectively guide learning online (Canadian Commission for UNESCO, 2020)
        
        "distance learning solutions" (Canadian Commission for UNESCO, 2020) =
        
        educational radio?
        
        educational TV?
        
        E.g., Connected North @ Home (Apple TV)
        
        virtual classroom/field trips?
        
        E.g., Ocean School
        
        E.g., Exploring by the Seat of Your Pants
        
        E.g., Canadian Geographic Education
- - - - That is approx. $5.50/student across 8 divisions which is approx. $968!!! (unquoted calculation disregarding the recent increase in prices)
    - - not all technologies are suitable for all students
        
        Some require specific ICT tools that require training and explicit instruction for accessible learning
        
        It's 2022...where are these tech pieces??
        
        Assistive technologies needed for all schools!
        
        We are in the midst of budget cuts, so what can we do about this?
        
        "A range of technology, including videos, multimedia and software of different types, was found to be effective in improving vocational, independence and social skills for autistic adolescents and young adults" (Global Education Monitoring Report Team, 2020, p. 11)
      - "underlying discriminatory patterns are currently being ignored" (Boys, 2021, p. 28)
      - my ELL students struggled to complete assigned work on FreshGrade during remote learning owing to language difficulties
