Partnering to Solve Pandemic Learning Loss

The impact of years of COVID-19 pandemic learning disruptions is coming into focus, and the picture is not good. To address the challenges P-12 students face, the Biden administration launched the National Partnership for Student Success (NPSS) in July 2022 and followed up last month with a call for colleges and universities to partner with their local school systems to help. The NPSS's Mariko Yoshisato Cavey visits the podcast to discuss how campuses can get involved.
