Countering COVID with Education Innovation - A Look at Pennsylvania's Example

April will mark the one-year anniversary of CER’s COVID ACTION series supporting educators and parents to counter COVID’s impact on education. At that time, we looked at what was happening across the states in the early days of the pandemic and the response of educators there.
ONE YEAR LATER… It’s clear that nothing short of policy change is needed to ensure that never again do we allow so much loss and neglect to occur simply because we are tied to one way of doing things. Where are the lessons? We look to Pennsylvania next week, where while state and district leaders allowed unions to control reopening and remote education was largely a failure for most, many heroic efforts to educate despite the odds stemmed learning loss for thousands
Featuring:
Keisha Jordan, Children’s Scholarship Fund Philadelphia
Nate Benefield, Commonwealth Foundation
Kenny Holdsman, Philadelphia Youth Basketball
Lawrence Jones, African American Public Charter School Coalition
