CANeLearn is researching what K-12 school districts across Canada have offered in the way of programming and supports during the pandemic.
This presentation highlights how the provinces and territories in Canada responded to the spring 2020 school closures due to COVID-19 regarding emergency remote teaching. We also discuss the re-opening of schools in September 2020 and the subsequent experiences during the fall during the “the second wave.” A focus included teaching and learning resources made available, digital devices distributed, attendance mandates, curricular foci, and health and safety measures put in place for a safe-re-opening, which also includes mode of instruction if students chose not to return to school. Data were gleaned by researching ministry of education websites, public notices, and news outlet sources to gather a picture of what the overall national response was during the pandemic.
The first report was published in August, the second in November, that detail what the Ministries and Departments announced in the Spring and Fall of 2020 for remote learning, and the third report,
Stories from the Field: Voices of K-12 Stakeholders During Pandemic, was published in December that brings the voice of key stakeholders within the K-12 online and blended learning community across Canada to described what actually happened on the ground.
