As the pandemic began, education was on a straight, if somewhat predictable, trajectory. In truth, aside from pockets of innovation, much of education in the United States looks much the same as it did 100 years ago. But as we know, the pandemic forced a shift to hybrid and online learning. Some students and families loathed fully online learning, whether asynchronous or synchronous, and jumped at the chance to return to school in a hybrid or fully in-person capacity. Other students found that they loved online or hybrid learning, and that those modalities really worked for their families and their own individual learning needs. Now, four years into the pandemic-era online learning experiment, many students want hybrid learning options, while others don’t want to repeat the chaos of the pandemic. This raises the question: How do we implement programs that meet the diverse needs of students and families while also taking into account lessons learned from the pandemic?
