The coronavirus pandemic changed learning and teaching in the San Joaquin Valley and around the state. Schools remain closed until at least the fall and there’s no other choice but to learn online.

But how do you make distance learning work for everyone?

The Fresno Bee’s Education Lab has reported on this issue since schools first started announcing closures, and we will continue to do so. But we need your help.

We want to hear from educators, parents, and students to get a better understanding of what you’re going through. Do you have access to the tools you need to graduate, improve your grades, or help your students?

Please consider filling out our survey so we can continue to report on the critical issues affecting education during the shutdown. People will not be quoted unless a reporter contacts you to ask for consent.

Rather not fill this out? Email, call, or text reporter Monica Velez directly: mvelez@fresnobee.com 559-907-9137.

The Education Lab is a local journalism initiative that highlights education issues critical to the advancement of the San Joaquin Valley. It is funded by donors. Learn about The Bee’s Education Lab on our website.
