Distance Learning & The Education Gap
Presented by LEAD San Diego in partnership with JONES and ABC 10News
We are about one month into the new school year. Some schools in our region have reopened and some have continued distance learning. How has this shift to new educational norms affected our students and their families? We know the education gap is growing, and so is the opportunity gap. What are the long-term effects of this situation on children — and how can we as leaders of teams and families address those growing gaps?
Our featured speakers this week include pediatrician Dr. Camille Robinson, and Superintendent Dr. David Miyashiro, and the conversation will be moderated by LEAD Vice President Elizabeth Fitzsimons.
