USC Rossier’s A New Vision for Schools (and Why Now Is the Time) is a series of stimulating web-hosted conversations focused on addressing inequities in education that have been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic.
The abrupt switch to remote instruction caused by the pandemic has created potentially irreparable setbacks for the students who can least afford the disruption – low-income students of color, English learners, students with disabilities and others who have been historically underserved. The challenge facing K–12 policymakers and educators is: How can we transform this crisis into an opportunity for positive, lasting change?
A top initiative of USC Rossier Dean Pedro Noguera, A New Vision for Schools features innovators and leaders from education, technology, science and media. Participants engage in a dynamic exchange of ideas, and offer concrete solutions for improving schools and enhancing learning opportunities for students.
