Special complimentary NSBA webinar on school transformation tomorrow

by | Oct 26, 2020 | Legislative Update Blog, National Issue, State Issue, Vision

The COVID-19 pandemic has challenged public schools in many ways. It has also amplified many of the problems and issues that schools faced prior to the pandemic, such as an inadequate supply of qualified teachers and a shortage of financial support for public schools. As our nation prepares to emerge from the pandemic, a growing number of visionaries are making the case that now is the time to rethink how schools do things to better meet the needs of students. This includes strengthening teaching, personalizing learning, and ensuring equitable access to technology for all students.

If this interests you, be sure to mark your calendar for noon tomorrow (Tuesday, Oct. 27), when the National School Boards Association (NSBA)  will host a free 2-hour webinar entitled, “Public School Transformation Now! Access, Equity, & Innovation for Each Child.” (See details below.)

Featured speakers will include Stanford Education Professor Emerita Dr. Linda Darling-Hammond, Roberto Rodriguez, CEO of TEACH Plus and a bipartisan group of former state governors Jim Geringer (Wyoming), Bev Perdue (North Carolina), and Bob Wise (West Virginia).

The speakers will share their insights on innovative practices during the pandemic and how to continue public school transformation in a post-COVID world. After the event, from 2:30 to 3;00 p.m., the NSBA will hold a Twitter Chat using the hashtag #EdTransformation.
