While it was challenging to collect representative data on pods, CRPE concluded that pods were an important pandemic response with long-term implications for education.<br \/>\n&#8230;<br \/>\nThe CRPE defines pods as an in person or intensive virtual support that meets multiple times per week. While a broad definition, it is more narrowly defined than many of the previous attempts at categorizing small group learning experiences.<br \/>\n&#8230;<br \/>\nDespite the \u201cmoment\u201d that pods had during the pandemic, once in-person learning became more available there was a snapback of about 85%, with the numbers of students shifting from pods to classroom attendance. Those students remaining in pods, typically counted as homeschooled, are part of what is likely to be a 1-2% long-term enrollment shift (perhaps 1 million students) away from traditional public schools.<\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"color: #800000;\">Addendum on 3\/2\/22:<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #800000;\">Along the lines of learning options, see:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nais.org\/magazine\/independent-school\/winter-2022\/the-changing-landscape-opportunities-for-independent-school-transformation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>The Changing Landscape: Opportunities for Independent School Transformation<\/strong><\/a> &#8212; from nais.org; with thanks to the Big Questions Institute for this resource<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Podpourri of Learning Options: Pods, Hubs, and Microschools in the Wake of the Pandemic &#8212; from gettingsmart.com by Tom Vander Ark Excerpts: The\u00a0Center on Reinventing Public Education\u00a0(CRPE)\u00a0recently published a report, Pandemic Pods and the Future of Education, based on a survey of families and educators who organized or participated in a pandemic pod.
