COVID-19: More students return to in-class learning following Lethbridge School Division’s first ‘pivot point’
Schools still open amid Canadian coronavirus resurgence. But for how long? Cheryl Gilmore, the division’s superintendent of schools, said the school division didn’t have any expectations going into this survey, but the transition was fairly easy to manage.With just over 200 out of nearly 12,000 students changing their minds, the system as a whole wasn’t disrupted.“This pivot point was fairly seamless, and so I was very happy for that,” she said.According to Gilmore, staff are currently working with new at-home learners who are adjusting to their new learning environment to ensure they are up to speed with technology and format.For students who moved back to in-class learning, most are transitioning in to existing cohorts.
