Reversing Course: Learning Loss in A Global Pandemic

As we move into a second year of this global pandemic, how do we address the significant academic, social, and emotional toll COVID-19 has taken on school-age children? While some have said we might be seeing a “lost generation,” others are heralding the narrowing of the digital divide. With millions of students across the U.S learning remotely, unprecedented numbers not attending school, and municipalities canceling assessments, are we are experiencing a crisis of learning loss?

Join us as we sit down with leaders across the education sector to explore possible solutions to these questions:

What are the consequences of learning loss?How do we prioritize and address a multitude of issues?What steps should be taken in the short-term in order to support students?And how do we innovate for the future to build on the lessons being learned? Where do we go from here?
