Thinking about creating community in a pandemic striken world.

Today, Nick and I are continuing our dissection of learning loss via our Learning Loss Handbook. In part 1, we spoke about the myth surrounding "learning loss" and the dire implications it has on our practice in schools. If you haven't listened in yet, I highly recommend checking out that episode.

In this episode we discuss:

What was lost during pandemic schooling?
What actions can we take in order to counteract the problems resulted from an isolated, virtual year(s)?
How can we take these actions even in districts that don't support progressive actions?

I think there's a common misconception that school is the only thing that matters. And the school system makes a lot of people feel like if they're not doing the best academically or kind of meeting the limit, then maybe they're not going to do as well later in life or maybe there's something wrong with them. I feel like that's a whole, really incorrect kind of idea that's perpetuated by the school system.
