National Summit on Revolutionizing Education
TEACHING AND LEADING THROUGH A PANDEMIC AND RECESSION
Keynote addresses by Peace of Mind’s Linda Ryden and
Rev. Dr. William Barber (We’re excited!)
Tuesday, July 7th from Noon to 3:30 pm
Free to all educators, July 7, 12-3:30 pm EST. More information here.
The spread of COVID-19 is creating challenges and stresses on our nation’s education system and impacting students, teachers, education support professionals, families, and school administrators across the country. As traditional ideas of “school” are challenged and replaced with varying degrees of online instruction and distance learning, this moment further exacerbates great inequities in our nation’s education system. Amidst these challenges, anti-racism protests have been sparked across the country, focusing our attention on the value we place on Black lives.
Yet, still, even in moments of crisis our educators manage to do what they do best: teach and care for students. Recovery requires a bold vision for the future grounded in equity from teacher leaders, and an unwavering commitment to protecting the emotional, mental, and physical wellbeing of all students.
Through the National Summit on Revolutionizing Education, NNSTOY will:
1. Address the challenges of teaching in the COVID-19 era; focusing on recovery, restart, and racial justice.
2. Share strategies for achieving equity for all students, by ensuring expert teachers are leading the national
conversation with policymakers and the public about the future of education.
3. Celebrate the stories of teachers and students across the country;
4. Highlight examples and share best practices for teaching during a pandemic.
