In March 2020, people across the country learned a pandemic would change their lives in unimaginable ways. We worried about loved ones, jobs, groceries and health. With school buildings dark, we worried about children and education too. Amid questions, worries and concerns we were left to figure out how to carry on. How could learning continue during a pandemic?
On Transforming Health: Learning During a Pandemic we’ll hear from parents, teachers and students as they recount what the past year has been like. They’ll tell stories of pushing through and coming together during these challenging times. Plus, how school is slowly beginning to look like normal, or at least a new normal, again.
