Back to school: what education looks like in the age of COVID-19.
Students, teachers and parents are all coming to terms with the reality of school during the COVID-19 pandemic, but will things ever go back to normal?As 75 million students head back to school this fall, students, parents, and educators are having to face unprecedented challenges in wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. With many dealing with the pressure of home instruction, educators across the country are trying to find new ways to safely engage their students and balance effective teaching with public safety. On this week's More in Common, we highlight some innovative educators who refuse to give up and students who inspire us all. Host Michael Koenigs introduces us to teachers, educators and public health officials who are all not only trying to make it safe for kids to go back to school, but also create a more inclusive and diverse education system.
