Among those whose work has been most impacted by the coronavirus pandemic are teachers. In the course of just a few weeks, nearly all of the nation’s 3.6 million elementary and secondary school teachers have had to reorient their carefully crafted lesson plans for distance learning. What’s more, many of them have had mere days to familiarize themselves with online learning tools they haven’t previously used. 

How are teachers coping? On this episode of “The Report Card,” Nat Malkus speaks with three teachers about their experiences adapting to remote teaching. Joining are William Bell, a third-grade teacher at Hillcrest Elementary School in Drexel Hill, Pennsylvania; Alex Wendell, an eighth-grade English teacher at Jefferson Middle School in Columbia, Missouri; and Rob Casilli, a 10th-grade geometry teacher at Democracy Prep Harlem High School in New York City.
