@GovLarryHogan @MdPublicSchools Thank you for this important message. Research has found that hybrid offers no advantage to student’s learning. As an educator who has been in a hybrid situation all year, this is not just anecdotal, it is reality. #consistencyinEd #fullyinperson #fullyremote #hybridfailure

Results from a pandemic parent survey reveal that more than half of U.S. students are receiving instruction entirely remotely this school year, while 28% of students receive instruction that is fully in person. https://t.co/QFCtWUqMua

"There is no failure. Only feedback."

[Deanna Weaver @DeaWeav]

All educational stakeholders should support teachers who consistently...
1. Set high but realistic expectations.
2. Offer students candor, with mutual respect.
3. Allow small failures with opportunities to recover.
