This July we hosted our first New York Times Teaching Project Summer Institute,
bringing talented educators from around the country together virtually.
But even as we assembled via Zoom panels, presentations and breakout
sessions to create curriculum, the confusing news alerts about the
2020-21 school year just kept coming.
To their immense credit, these teachers — from Los Angeles and St.
Louis, Houston, Philadelphia, Miami and everywhere in between — didn’t
seem distracted. Instead, they rolled with the changes, continuing to
come up with creative ways to reach their students, wherever and however
they’d be working with them.
Below,
28 of those educators share their thoughts and ideas about what worked
for them in the spring, what they’re doing this fall, what worries them,
what heartens them and what helps them.
