Teaching in a Time of Coronavirus
Yesterday, March 13th, 2020, following the president's announcement of a state of emergency in the United States due to the COVID-19 outbreak, governor Jay Inslee of Washington State closed all schools K-12 in our state effective Tuesday, March 17th. As a teacher, while this move was not unexpected, it was a bit of a shock.
The district I teach for has decided not to have students return on Monday. This means that we may be educating our students from home in some fashion. Exactly what my school and my district plan to do is still undecided.
Meanwhile, as people scramble for supplies and prepare for the worst, my hometown is being blanketed in snow. It is a strange time.
As a response, I will be writing a daily blog to continue to flex my creative muscles. Much like our current situation, what form this blog will take is a bit of a mystery. I may return to writing satirical conspiracy theories, speaking to the struggles of social distancing, or I may simply comment on what it is like to be a teacher in the time of the spread of COVID-19.
Until tomorrow, stay safe out there.
