COVID-19 and the Classroom: How Schools Navigated the Great Disruption presents social science research that explores how schools navigated the disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic from March 2020 through the 2020-21 school year. This book also serves as a history book, documenting what this period was like for those involved in the enterprise of educating children. The book is divided into three sections, allowing for an in-depth exploration of the pandemic’s impact. The first section examines how teachers, parents, and school leaders experienced the pandemic, including what this looked like when schools first closed for in-person instruction. Part two explores how schools reopened, both in the United States and abroad, and discusses the trade-offs associated with these decisions. This section also explored how private schools fared and the rise of “pandemic pods”. The book concludes with a look at how a range of teacher preparation programs continued their work in uncertain times. This volume represents one of the first to share scholarship on how schools negotiated the COVID-19 crisis.

COVID-19 and the Classroom: How Schools Navigated the Great Disruption provides a very comprehensive look at how COVID 19 impacted schools and schooling. The authors use first person accounts from teachers, school leaders, and others concerning how COVID 19 affected all aspects of education. Pointing out that most teachers had never taught virtually, and most students had never learned virtually, the authors summarize some of the concerns and frustrations of teachers, parents, and school leaders in having to pivot to a new way of teaching. The most important aspect of the book is that it provides many lessons learned that will help all educators and parents deal with future pandemics. -- Tom Smith, University of Arkansas
