Through a year-long research and storytelling project, we dove deep with five student-centered schools across the country to ask: How have student-centered practices enabled resiliency in the face of a pandemic? How are schools documenting and measuring success? Ultimately, what lessons and evidence can we take from this challenging period as we pivot to a more student-centered future? We’ll summarize findings through a conversation with participating practitioners and researchers.
