Students, teachers, and schools learned a lot during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Many of the challenges and opportunities were already there, just emphasized by the global health emergency, says Johnny Lupinacci, associate professor at the Washington State University College of Education.
Lupinacci teaches future teachers and education researchers, and he was a high school teacher himself. He points out how many ideas and issues within schools—like different learning styles and the digital divide—were already there. The pandemic brought them to the forefront.
In this episode, Lupinacci talks with magazine editor Larry Clark about lessons learned during and after COVID-19, from the need for scientific literacy to improving how we teach kids.
