WEBINAR: Schools That Excelled During the Pandemic – How and Why They Pivoted Effectively to Remote Learning

  • February 25, 2021
  • David Osborne
  • Tressa Pankovits

On Wednesday, February 24th our Director David Osborne and Associate Director Tressa Pankovits co-moderated an engaging conversation on public schools that have effectively made the switch to remote learning entitled, “Schools That Excelled During the Pandemic: How and Why They Pivoted Effectively to Remote Learning.”

The dynamic panel of school leaders included Diane Tavenner (Summit Public Schools), Shatoya Ward (Purdue Polytechnic High School), and Priscila Dilley (Leadership Academy Network). With an audience of parents, educators, advocates, and policy makers, the panel discussed the keys to their success, what they have learned, and their advice for other public schools and districts.

As school systems across the country return to in-person instruction, our project highlighted what school leaders learned about how impactful autonomy can be ensuring student success.
