COVID Comeback Models

Update:

Our Schools Start Here series of guides dives into the resource side of ESSER strategy and planning, including concrete examples of staffing and scheduling models. 

EXPLORE THE GUIDES

 

Explore concrete examples of possible student groups, schedules, and staff roles for various hybrid models

Continuously-changing local circumstances will likely require districts and schools to shift between different teaching and learning models during the 2020-21 school year. Figuring out the practical logistics of this work can be complicated. Exactly when these transitions occur throughout the school year and what these transitions look like will largely depend on public health conditions. For the growing number of districts beginning the school year fully remote, this time can be leveraged as an opportunity to proactively plan for what safely easing your students and staff back into a hybrid model might look like.


What is a COVID Comeback Model?

ERS COVID Comeback Models are adaptable blueprints for crafting hybrid schedules, staff roles, and districtwide structures that are ready-to-implement when local public health conditions allow.
