Rising to Our Responsibility: Moving Beyond “Back to Normal”

Join expert faculty from the Michigan State University in the second forum of the Rising to Our Responsibility series: Moving Beyond “Back to Normal” in Times of Unprecedented Uncertainty. REGISTER NOW.

The United States has a new presidential administration, teachers are beginning to be vaccinated, and schools are returning to face-to-face instruction. But in the wake of the insurrection at the Capitol and an ongoing global pandemic, educators and our students are still living through unprecedented times. During this session, our panel will discuss: What are our responsibilities now? Do we want to go back to normal? Do we want to go back to the world before the last four years? Before the pandemic? How do we move forward into a new, better educational future?

• Moderator: Terah Venzant Chambers, professor of K-12 educational administration and the College of Education’s associate dean for equity and inclusion
