The fact remains that there was no professional learning to prepare for the reality that everyone is facing nor a plan for something like COVID19.

Time If there is one thing that teachers consistently ask for, it is time to plan, create videos, grade, conference with remote students, update the LMS, etc. The main takeaway with time though is to develop ways to give it unconditionally to teachers and not schedule or mandate anything else in its place, such as meetings or PLC's.
