Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, schools around the state of Ohio and nationwide were forced to regroup to continue education of their students in online asynchronous or hybrid formats. This paradigm shift of the current zeitgeist has left many stakeholders (teachers, administrators, students, and their families) struggling to effectively adjust to this new reality, and emancipate traditional in-person practices and expectations (Ferdig, et al., 2021). The purpose of this research case study is to examine challenges as well as opportunities of the hybrid/online models of learning that have become the alternative to traditional in-person delivery during the COVID-19 pandemic (March 2020 - present). To achieve that, we distributed a survey instrument grounded in the framework of the Ohio Standards for Teaching Profession (2005) to the identified key stakeholders (teachers for this portion of the study) in various school districts in central Ohio—rural, urban, and suburban. Participants from other states were recruited via snowball sampling (Stake, 2010; Mills, 2018). Qualitative analysis of the collected data was performed, identifying major themes, and analyzing best practices and pitfalls to avoid (e.g., regarding student mental health, engagement, etc.), to make recommendations for educators, administrators and policy makers as they embrace and navigate new instructional models and new learning environments.
