Abstract
In 2019, the world was plunged into a global pandemic with the Covid-19 outbreak. As of today, scientists and researchers are yet to find out the direct spread but Director or Operations at John Hopkins University explained that the new Covid is spread through droplets that are released in the air when an infected person coughs or sneezes. The last time the world has been placed in such a position was with the outbreak of SARS in 2003. Schools were abruptly closed and teachers were forced to adapt to a new virtual environment. Because of this rapid transition, districts were forced to develop or improve their present online instructional plans to facilitate distance learning.
The research will examine schools readiness for this rapid transition to online learning, Doing the best you can; is it sufficient? and teachers as change agents: Chaos vs. Stability. The results will inform teachers, administrators, parents and all individuals involved in decision-making in the educational system.
