This study examines advice from educational leaders on planning for K–12 remote teaching during the COVID-19 pandemic. The authors identify key themes for accommodating disrupted schooling and preparing for future remote learning scenarios. The findings emphasized the importance of reflection and feedback, clear communication, innovation in teaching methods, and focusing on essential learning outcomes. The authors highlight the need for emergency planning, ongoing professional development, and addressing technology access issues. While the interviews were conducted in 2020, the guidance remains relevant for preparing educators to seamlessly transition between in-person and remote instruction in case of future school closures.
