Liz Willen Dear reader,

Education is typically slow to change, but in the coming weeks, we may see some seismic movements as the unwelcome coronavirus spreads. In Washington State, schools are closing to disinfect classrooms ([link removed]) , and colleges throughout the country are canceling ([link removed]) study abroad programs – or taking them online.

All of this means that remote education – one aspect of the future of learning ([link removed]) , a topic we’ve long delved into – may be arriving sooner than expected. This week, we take a look at some new trends already in place, like the workplace ([link removed]) becoming today’s classroom. We also examine what free public schooling ([link removed]) beginning at age three can mean for working families. As always, we’d love to hear from you.

Liz Willen, Editor
