Families have learned a lot about school and educators have had to make countless pivots to how we engage learners and families and deliver instruction. Do you have ways to authentically co-create post-COVID school with families? In this session, we will hear real and messy examples from communities that took on this process explicitly as a means of expanding who they hear from and who has influence. Participants will reflect on these stories to begin to create equity seeking plans of their own.
