Discover how the crisis of a global pandemic allowed educators to improve learning across the pre-K–adult pipeline.
In their new book Mending Education: Finding Hope, Creativity, and Mental Wellness in Times of Trauma (Teachers College Press, 2024), coauthors Karen Gross and Edward K. S. Wang acknowledge the loss and difficulty the COVID-19 pandemic brought to the field of education, while exploring how sudden and forced changes to teaching and learning also brought about so-called "Pandemic Positives," which can be captured and brought to scale.
Drawing on their wealth of experience—Karen Gross is a former college president and former senior policy advisor at the U.S. Department of Education, and Ed Wang is an assistant professor of psychology at Harvard Medical School—the authors will strategize about the roles of schools and communities and how to improve outcomes for all students, from early childhood through adulthood.
Karen and Ed will be joined in conversation by Sakina McGruder, a National Board Certified Teacher with over 20 years of experience with students and their families. The event will be moderated by Paul Reville, the Francis Keppel Professor at the Harvard Graduate School of Education.
This webinar is for administrators, parents, college faculty, teachers, teacher educators, school staff, counselors, psychologists, social workers, school board members, policymakers, and all other stakeholders invested in advancing education and student wellness.
