Emergency Preparedness for K–12 Online Teaching
Lessons Learned from COVID-19Â and What Schools Must Do Next
This section contextualizes the unprecedented disruption caused by COVID-19, revealing systemic vulnerabilities in K–12 education. It discusses the historical focus on localized emergencies, the rapid and challenging pivot to online learning, and the resulting gaps in digital infrastructure, teacher training, and equity. The introduction establishes the book’s purpose: to provide a research-based roadmap for resilient, technology-enabled education systems.
CHAPTER 1
Examines teachers’ experiences during the abrupt shift to online teaching, highlighting the adversity, resilience, and policy implications that emerged. Drawing on case studies from technologically advanced states, it reveals that access to technology alone is insufficient without structured training and institutional support, and underscores the importance of preparedness, professional development, and community support.
CHAPTER 2
This chapter analyzes the widespread unpreparedness among educators forced into online teaching. Through qualitative and quantitative evidence, it identifies systemic gaps in teacher training, digital infrastructure, and emergency planning, and explores the resulting impacts on engagement and learning outcomes. The chapter calls for comprehensive reform in teacher education and school planning to prevent future crises.
CHAPTER 3
Chapter 3 critiques the shortcomings of professional development (PD) for digital instruction, showing that most PD was ad hoc and insufficient for online teaching demands. It advocates for continuous, blended, and adaptive PD models grounded in frameworks like TPACK, and stresses the need for ongoing, context-sensitive training, mentorship, and evaluation to build teacher digital competencies.
