The Education Outreach Committee is sponsoring a panel at this year's Annual Meeting titled "K-12 education outreach in a post-COVID world". Involved in K-12 outreach? Then please consider joining us as a panelist! NOTE: Serving as a panelist DOES NOT count towards the "one talk per speaker limit".
Abstract:
In March 2020, the start of the COVID-19 pandemic brought a sea change to K-12 education in the U.S. Every school district was forced into virtual learning overnight. Now that the pandemic is fading into the rear-view mirror, those who value the success of K-12 students have the opportunity to begin anew K-12 education outreach projects. Successful, sustained programs will simultaneously work within longstanding constraints facing public education in this country and leverage new opportunities resulting from pandemic response. Lessons learned from first-hand experience will be discussed.
Potential topics:
1. Increasing engagement between high school and higher education institutions/students
2. Exploring post-COVID career options
3. Assisting K-12 students with challenges in the post-COVID universe
4. Lessons learned in K-12 education during the COVID-19 pandemic and future impacts
