My hat is off to our school administrators who are facing an overwhelming volume of tough, often “no-win” decisions while being asked to do more with less in order to meet children’s needs in this crisis. @AASAHQ #COVID19 @hgse @MassEducation @MASchoolsK12
Thanks @HarvardMed for inviting me to be a panelist on your webinar tomorrow, The Impact of #COVID19 on Kids. Discussion will touch on mental health, housing & food security, & #education issues caused by pandemic. bit.ly/2X0E7VY @hgse @AMLandryMD @RheaBoydMD
The fall should mark the beginning of the end of 'one size fits all' schooling. To get students back on track, educators must customize education strategy for each child designed to get that child to “success.' Read my latest op-ed @educationweek: bit.ly/36lkZVS @hgse
Tomorrow, @IsraelinBoston & @GermanyinBoston will host an international panel of #education experts, including myself, for discussion on how US, Israel & Germany are coping w/ #COVID19 & what the “new normal” will be in our schools: bit.ly/2T13bK9 @hgse @harvard

Thanks @ALIHarvard for hosting my talk on @EdRedesign’s work & mission & urgent need to reimagine #education in the 21st cent. We need a comprehensive, cross-sector system of supports & opportunities that is accessible to all kids and #COVID19 has made this starkly clear. @hgse

"The school closings make it obvious, even to casual observers, that the playing field is not close to level for children." My latest piece in the @BostonGlobe on how #COVID19 shows the urgent need to address child education & development inequities bit.ly/2UTWniU @hgse
I recently wrote for the @BostonGlobe that #COVID19 could be another 'Sputnik moment' for the US, generating action at all levels of gov to form a Children’s Accord on supports & opportunities for kids’ wellbeing in & out of school: bit.ly/2UTWniU @hgse @EdTrust @Harvard

Diversity in MA teachers falls short w/ workforce at ~90% white, while K-12 student body is only 60% white. I recently spoke w/ @BosPublicRadio @WGBH on urgent need to attract ppl to profession esp. from underrepresented backgrounds: bit.ly/37X95RL @hgse @Kennedy_School

Until we address children’s basic needs & resolve #ToxicStress in their lives, problems of school improvement & developing talent for our country’s economy will remain intractable. nyti.ms/2qWWxd3 2/2
