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.
Join us for our first #EdEquityTalks event of 2022, focused on reframing the topic of learning loss during the COVID-19 pandemic to center racial equity and the needs of our young people. Nellie Mae Program Officer Alexis Harewood will host this panel, which includes LiberatED founder Dena Simmons, Ed.D., as well as students Giulia Gennari and Law-Rel Butler, and guest poet Jaylee Carles.
