Beyond back to school: Equity & innovation in the COVID-19 era

Why you should attend

Over the coming months, state education leaders will be challenged to reconsider their traditional back-to-school routines and policies. All the while, school closures related to COVID-19 are illuminating the inequities underlying systemic disparities in education and beyond. In preparation for the fall, it is more important than ever that states and districts use evidence and data to understand the implications for historically underserved communities and to scale innovative models of teaching and learning.
