Stories about education during the pandemic often focus on deficits and loss, but its critical narratives also surface what was learned and how to take gains into the future. In this session, hear findings from a 20-district study on innovation shifts during COVID-19. What were the “hops, skips, and leaps” students and teachers took together to meet the unique needs of every learner? How might we understand this progress and, importantly, set conditions to move forward even further together?
