Allie Schleifer, Insight Pennsylvania Cyber Charter School Lead School Counselor, said virtual learning provides students struggling with their mental health the opportunity to learn in a safe place, have more flexibility, learn with more family support, improve their academics, use chat boxes and turn off their camera for comfort, and relieve the pressure of making friends and dressing to fit into a school environment. 

Digital tools, online instruction, mental and emotional wellness are happening not just in what aspiring educators are learning, but how.

The university says the decision was made after extensive analysis and scenario planning given worsening virus conditions nationally and across the state indicating predictions of rising hospitalization rates in the coming weeks.

The struggles students face during remote learning — like isolation, technology fatigue and anxiety about the future — are all exacerbated for students who are not proficient English speakers.
