Why DISRUPT 2020?
The rapid transition to remote teaching and learning due to COVID19 has dramatically disrupted schooling at an unprecedented scale and speed. In response, students, teachers, parents and caregivers have overcome a multitude of learning obstacles with a commitment to innovation and iteration.
Now, more than ever, we have a clear and compelling mandate and opportunity to reimagine what’s necessary and possible for K-12 education. Together, we can ensure all of our students develop the curiosity, empathy, communication, collaboration, ethics and initiative they will need to navigate their future.
