Description
Due to the unprecedented shift to virtual, distanced and hybrid learning, educators, students, and their families alike have had to adjust to a transformed educational landscape.Digital access is now a necessity for most children’s schooling, yet troubling indicators show that families are struggling to provide their children with the necessary digital equipment or support. As we move into a post-pandemic future we must learn from this pandemic’s effects on education, the inequality gaps it has exacerbated and the solutions that can be trusted. With a new Administration taking office in 2021, policymakers will be addressing both digital policy and educational policy with new vigor, and to ensure that future policies prepare future generations for an unprecedented shift, they will need solid evidence on which to base their approaches. With support from the Corporation, a team of researchers will conduct a nationally representative survey to collect data with in-depth interviews to capture variations on how parents are supporting their children’s learninganddevelopment.Thegoalofthisprojectistomakepolicyrecommendations that can help students and families recover andthrive, in the aftermath of the pandemic.
