Abstract
This study looked to examine the effects of remote learning on teachers’ curriculums. In the study, the researcher sought to examine how teachers have had to adjust their curriculums and lessons in this time of remote learning to make sure they are reaching all students. Previous research has been done on this topic that has been both critical and supportive. A major theme amongst the critical research includes that communication has been more challenging, and amongst the supportive research, there is a multitude of technology options available. This type of teaching and learning has been an adjustment for everyone, students and teachers alike. The methodology used was a Google Forms survey because it remained anonymous and was open to all teachers. The survey was left active for seven days and then closed. A Google Forms feature, the frequency of responses, was used as an analytic method.
