Brilliance and Resilience: Going Above and Beyond to Educate America’s Students

Aug 26, 2021 | 1:00 pm ET/10:00 am PT

Returning America’s children safely to the classroom this school year is a national imperative. Yet, not everyone is exhibiting the needed urgency, and some politicians are standing in the way of common sense safety measures.

Join us on Thursday, August 26th at 1:00 p.m. EDT for a one-hour Zoom webinar to meet experts who explain why this course is fraught, and hear from school leaders and a parent advocate who are going above and beyond to ensure their students are no longer experiencing COVID-induced learning loss.

This webinar continues our series of live presentations in partnership with The 74 Million education magazine.

Guest Speakers will include:

    • Tariq H. Butt, MD, President Chicago Medical Society
    • Michael Mandel, Chief Economic Strategist Progressive Policy Institute

 

Panelists will include:

  • Michael Hinojosa, Superintendent Dallas Independent School District
  • Dr. Rosalind Osgood, Chair, Broward County Public School Board
  • Priscila Dilley, Chief Officer, Leadership Academy Network Schools
  • Maritza Guridy, National Parents Union, Northeast Regional Organizer
