I can only speak from my research, localized to my site, and reflective of our particular circumstances, but participants indicated some things they’d like to get back to, and other things not so much. Generally, our increased focus on student well-being was something that participants wanted to keep. There was some marginal technological shifts (we’ve been 1:1 for a very long time, so our circumstances might not be reflective of schools with a lower starting-point, resource-wise) that teachers wanted to keep. But getting back to school without social distancing, etc. was very much also represented in my study. While the joke is always that you and your committee members are the only people who ever read your dissertation, I’ll link it here. The axial codebook (Appendix D) is much more granular in terms of the variety of impacts of the pandemic on participants.
