Imagine the Postpandemic Classroom

Abstract

In this column, I direct the readers’ attention to issues that deserve to be addressed in the postpandemic classroom. While recent reports identified that learning loss, social isolation, political turmoil, and social upheaval have put an enormous strain on students’ mental health, I invite the readers reflect on your own experiences and consider pedagogical shifts that would help us meet the students where they are. I propose that topics like uncertainty, flexibility, and versatility should also be taken into serious consideration as we plan for the next school year. I end this column with a few curriculum ideas and suggest that we make space for uncertainty in our classroom and create space for what could yet become.
