The coronavirus pandemic has closed schools across the U.S., affecting nearly 2 million public school students in New England alone. What are the educational and social impacts of this sudden shift to remote learning? What about students with special learning needs? And how might the COVID-19 crisis widen the inequities in our K-12 educational system?
On Friday, March 27, join us for an America Amplified call-in special from the New England News Collaborative. We’ll bring together voices from around our region — and we want to hear yours.
- How is the shutdown affecting your child's education?
- Are you a parent or teacher facing unique challenges? Or have a tip to share on how to make the best of educating from home?
Give us a call between 9 a.m. and 10 a.m. on March 27 during our live, regional broadcast. The call-in number is 888-720-9677.
You can also join the conversation by tweeting us at @NENCNewEngland, or emailing next@ctpublic.org. If you'd like to leave us a voicemail, dial 860-275-7595.
