VIRTUAL BROWN BAGS

WHEN: Wednesday, May 26, at 3 pm ET / 2 pm CT / 12 pm PT

PRESENTER: Tim Sass, Metro Atlanta Policy Lab for Education (MAPLE)
 
TOPIC: Tim Sass will share recent MAPLE research on pandemic-induced learning impacts on metro-Atlanta students and recommendations for what school districts can do to mitigate these impacts and support students as we look ahead, including what resources will be required.
 
ABOUT THE RPP: MAPLE partners with five public school districts in metro Atlanta, working together to generate data-driven insights that inspire public policies that lift students—especially those experiencing vulnerabilities—and provide a clear picture of the humanity beyond the numbers. MAPLE is committed to using rigorous research to show what policies and programs work, which don’t, and sharing evidence-based recommendations to promote more positive, equitable outcomes.
