COVID-19 and K-12 Schools Updates from the Field Transcript

About

In July 2020, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine released the report Reopening K-12 Schools During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Prioritizing Health, Equity, and Communities. This webinar explores what we are learning about health and epidemiological issues as schools reopen for in-person education. Join the Board on Science Education and the Standing Committee on Emerging Infectious Diseases and 21st Century Health Threats as we consider emerging research and build deeper understanding of how COVID-19 is impacting schools and districts around the country.
Invited speakers include:
Preeti Malani, Infectious Diseases and Geriatric Medicine, University of Michigan
Nathaniel Schwartz, The Annenberg Institute, Brown University
Christina Silcox, Margolis Center for Health Policy, Duke University
Neeraj Sood, Schaeffer Center for Health Policy and Economics, University of Southern California

Teaching K-12 Science and Engineering During a Crisis

About

The COVID-19 pandemic is resulting in widespread and ongoing changes to how the K-12 education system functions, including disruptions to science teaching and learning environments. This guide from the Board on Science Education describes what high-quality science and engineering education can look like during this time of great uncertainty. The publication includes guidance—with an emphasis on the needs of district science supervisors, curriculum leads, and instructional coaches—about how K-12 science and engineering learning experiences can:

function during disruptions to education systems;
adapt as needed to support students and their families dealing with ongoing changes to instructional and home environments; and
remain at high quality or even increase in quality, even if time for instruction is reduced this year.

The guide is based on reports from the National Academies that focus on teaching science and engineering in grades K-12. It also incorporates input and examples from educators across the country.

This activity was sponsored by the Carnegie Corporation of New York and the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine's Presidents Fund.
