Keynote: The New Face of Education: How COVID-19 is Changing Education for the Good
COVID-19 brought about tremendous obstacles and hurdles for school district leaders in the Spring of 2020. When the panic settled and the dust cleared, many school leaders began seeing much needed changes in education, changes that in the past were difficult to bring about in the well-established institutions of education. Perhaps COVID brought about a push that was needed to truly move education into the future. How do we capitalize on the changes we have had to make the last a few months and use that as a catalyst to transform education in ways we have previously talked about.
