Student Success Reimagined: Meeting Post-Pandemic Needs
Description:
In education, decisions are often made for students rather than with them. That’s starting to change as more schools recognize the urgency of fostering student connection and engagement in the aftermath of the pandemic. In this live taping of the Designing Education podcast, Johns Hopkins University education researcher Robert Balfanz will talk with school principals who made student voice a priority as they reimagined their systems for supporting students in the wake of the pandemic – and are seeing benefits from improved attendance and school connectedness to better family engagement.
