Reframing Learning Loss Amidst a Pandemic

By Julita Bailey-Vasco

While there’s no doubt the pandemic has deeply impacted the learning experiences of young people across our region and our nation, calls to focus solely on “learning loss” not only dismisses the resilience and creativity of young people who have forged through three years of pandemic schooling, but also ignores longstanding bias against Black, Indigenous, Latinx, and Students of Color (BILSOC) in our nation’s schools.

Register today for this free hour-long conversation!

Black History is American History: Why We Must Continue to Teach the Truth
