  Arlington Public Schools (APS) partnered with the Friday Institute Research and Evaluation (FIRE) team at North Carolina State University to evaluate the progress of their 1:1 project, which aims to ensure that every student from grade 2 through 12 has a personal digital learning device (1:1) to support instruction.
• Remote Learning in Times of Crisis: School and District Triage (White Paper)

  Co-Author
  On March 14, 2020, all North Carolina K-12 schools closed due to the COVID-19 global pandemic. Educators across the state were tasked with developing inclusive remote learning plans while receiving minimal guidance around best practices. As school closures went from temporary to permanent for the remainder of the 2019-2020 academic year, students, families, teachers and administrators adapted to long-term remote learning. This unprecedented situation provided the opportunity to gather critical information regarding the implementation and administration of remote learning that will help inform how school districts will return to school this fall.
