work or home stress weresuddenly thrown into a new balancing act where work and home constraints were now happeningat the same time. Teaching from home became the new norm. However, many had never usedthe internet for instruction before. Additionally, their lack of pedagogical understanding ofonline design, facilitation and instruction left many at a loss for best practices.Much of the difficulty may be able to be attributed to the short window of planning andorganizing that needed to occur in March 2020. Then once entrenched in those emergencymeasures, instructors may not have felt it necessary, nor had the time, to modify instructionaltechniques during the spring of the 2020 school year.In hindsight the rapid transition in instruction during

Although some programs exist (e.g., summer bridge andred-shirt-like programs) to serve students “whose high school records do not yet represent theirpotential,” program capacity is often well below the need [38].
