Like millions of teachers around the country, Katie Gardner is still adjusting to an online workflow—and so are the families of her students. Gardner, who teaches kindergarten to English learners in Salisbury, N.C., says some students don’t have robust access to technology, so not all of them are able to participate.
Others have parents who are working essential jobs and no older siblings to help with schoolwork. Without such support, students may feel less comfortable—or inclined—to engage in an entirely new way of learning.
