Abstract

We use the metaphor of building a plane while flying to describe the enactment of educational policies by teachers during COVID-19 and the impact of these policies on their ability to meet the needs of their students. Drawing from a series of three one-hour focus groups with seven teachers in Alberta, we apply critical policy analysis to describe the transition of public schools to pandemic education, especially in urban centers. This paper will begin by reviewing the dynamic policy context of school closures and reentry strategies and proceed to outline the diverse ways school boards interpreted guidelines from the Ministry of Education. We discuss the frustration with and variation of policy enactment during the pandemic, especially with respect to priorities and barriers to addressing student wellbeing and access to educational and social supports. Finally, we describe the consequences of teaching through crisis as it emerges in a political context that has failed to respond to educator’s professional needs.  
边飞边造飞机
我们以“边飞边造飞机”为比喻,描述教师在2019冠状病毒病疫情期间制定的教育政策,以及这些政策对教师满足学生需求能力的影响。根据艾伯塔省七名教师的三个一小时焦点小组,我们运用关键的政策分析来描述公立学校向流行病教育的转变,特别是在城市中心。本文将首先回顾学校关闭和重新入学战略的动态政策背景,然后概述学校董事会解释教育部指导方针的不同方式。我们讨论了大流行期间政策制定的挫折和变化,特别是在解决学生福利和获得教育和社会支持方面的优先事项和障碍方面。最后,我们描述了危机教学的后果,因为它出现在政治背景下,未能回应教育者的专业需求。
