Lawrence school board members, teachers and administrators discuss teacher workload issues and possible solutions in a breakout group during the board s meeting on Monday, Jan. 11, 2021.
The Lawrence school board has started brainstorming some ways to help decrease teachers’ workload at a time when the COVID-19 pandemic is forcing educators to adapt to teaching remotely and running hybrid classes.
Leah Wisdom, the district’s director of equity, instruction and student services, told the board at its meeting on Monday that the pandemic had made the teaching profession more difficult. She said COVID-19 required teachers to learn to use new and unfamiliar technologies to teach their classes, and that their “tried and true” teaching methods that worked when students were in the classroom were now less effective, among other issues.
