Teaching into the Void: How the Pandemic Unmade an American High School (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798537379553)

Teaching into the Void is a riveting first-person account of the school years lost to a pandemic.

High school teacher Albert Arnesto guessed the new school year would be filled with the unexpected after his principal was fired on the first day. But he never imagined the challenges to come when, seven months later, schools around the country closed their doors to stop the spread of a once-in-a-century pandemic-and the future of education never looked more perilous.

Teaching into the Void captures the panic of a school thrown into crisis, as district administrators are forced to make consequential decisions with incomplete information while teachers try desperately to salvage the remainder of a school year-all while attempting to plan around the looming uncertainty of the next one.

Amid the chaos, upheaval, confusion, and fog of war in the fight against a microscopic enemy, the pandemic brought about an unraveling-no, an unmaking-of an American high school, of which Teaching into the Void chronicles the remarkable true story.
