Ready or Not: Transformative School Reopening [May 2020 Chat]

EduColor had a chat in May in collaboration with the NYU Metro Center to rethink the opening of schools in 2020. While politicians continue to push for rushed economies and school openings, our team responds with a truly student-centered and community-centered approach where we actually look at the science and prefer not to risk the lives and deaths of our most vulnerable citizens. Jose Vilson and Matt Gonzales hosted this effort.

Here are some questions:

• How has distance/remote learning gone from your personal perspective?
• How has distance/remote learning exacerbated inequity?
• In what ways has your district/state/country helped or hindered schooling our children?
• How have current events shaped your perspective on distance/remote learning?
• When your district uses words like “reimagine” for schooling, what does it make you think?
• How can we better reimagine the opening of our new school year?
