I have asked many teachers to reflect on their time this year - a year of jumping from virtual to hybrid and back again and now hybrid full time. Does student engagement impact student achievement in the virtual and hybrid settings? In my personal experience, I believe that student engagement in a hybrid/virtual setting is key to student achievement and success. In my school, students are doing better in the classes with teachers who have a better understanding of technology. Which is how my wicked question came about: What form of education will be offered for the 2021-2022 School Year? After conducting and reflecting on my quickfire, I decided to dig deeper into my questions by creating a survey to see what my colleagues think about hybrid and virtual learning and the role engagement plays in student achievement in these settings. At first, creating my survey was very difficult. I didn’t have a foundation and didn’t know where to begin, but as I got more feedback it became easier. Based on some feedback, I realized that numbering my questions would be helpful and I added some areas for teachers to expand on their thinking for a couple of questions. This allows me to see what is driving their answer selections. Overall, I do think my survey will offer insight to teachers’ thoughts for next year and provide a foundation of where the education system is heading. Whether it’s virtual, hybrid or in-person this year has opened many doors for student access to a proper education. Reference: Opperhauser, B. (2020). Colleague Opperhauser [Screenshot].
