• In Event: Engaging Families and Communities in Learning Across Concepts and Contexts

Abstract

The COVID-19 era beckons innovative, evidence-based policy approaches crafted from new educational frameworks that consider external factors and conditions impacting the health of the learner. The novel coronavirus pandemic has not only created a sense of urgency for the integration of healthcare and the educational system, but has reinforced the case for this type of critical infrastructure, which is currently lacking in K-12 schools.
