As local K-12 schools begin to wrap up their spring semesters, some teachers are still trying to come to terms with the past year.
Michelle Gay is a 5th grade teacher at Northside Elementary School in Chapel Hill. Throughout the pandemic, Gay has had to continuously adapt her lesson plans as students moved from a fully remote to a hybrid, in-person learning model.
“It’s definitely been a learning curve,” Gay said. “I think the more we’ve done it the better it’s gotten and there are definitely some days I feel really great about it and some days where I want to check in with the online kids separately to see if they feel like they’re being heard as much.”
