'It's starting to feel normal': Students, teachers are adapting to restrictions

Since schools throughout Hancock County have gradually welcomed students back to class over the past few weeks, teachers have been working to find their new normal. English teacher Kent Gish, president of the New Palestine Classroom Teachers Association, echoes those sentiments. “Students need to have the work available and be given the support virtually to do the work and ask questions. This requires making videos, answering many more emails, and designing instruction not just for face-to-face instruction, but also virtual,” said Gish, who has been teaching for 27 years.
