How COVID-19 Changed Education: What We Need to Know Now and in Coming Years

Description

During the COVID-19 pandemic, schools worldwide closed and an estimated 168 million students have been out of school for over a year, entering into a mass online learning experiment. In the U.S., in-person learning will largely be restored this fall, but questions remain about how to keep K-12 schools safe, and about the lingering effects of more than a year of remote education on students.

Join top Johns Hopkins University experts as they discuss critical information for educators, parents, and policymakers during the virtual event, "How COVID-19 Changed Education: What We Need to Know Now and in Coming Years."

Please attend the event by joining the livestream.

Experts will address topics that include:

• What's the plan for K-12 schools if the delta variant remains dominant?
• Will the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic impede student success for years to come—if so, what are the warning signs?
• What is the best way to get those students who fell behind back on track?

Featuring:

• Annette Anderson, deputy director of Johns Hopkins Center for Safe and Healthy Schools
• Robert Balfanz, director of the Johns Hopkins Everyone Graduates Center
• David Steiner, executive director of the Johns Hopkins Institute for Education Policy
