Episode Details

Although the CDC has found little evidence of COVID spreading in schools with proper precautions in place, 17% of districts in the US are fully open for in-person learning. Dr. Annette Anderson of the Johns Hopkins School of Education returns to the podcast to give an update about the impacts of the pandemic, academically and socially, on K-12 students. Dr. Anderson also talks with Stephanie Desmon about why schools may not fully reopen until the fall, and the opportunities now for schools to address a longstanding lack of innovation.
