The Current State of Education: Challenges, Opportunities and the $125 Billion Dollar Question

Exactly two months to the day after President Biden signed the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 with $125 billion carved out for education, Mursion will host Dr. Jacqueline Rodriguez, Vice President for Research, Policy, & Advocacy at the American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education (AACTE), for a candid discussion on the challenges and opportunities ahead. From her unique perspective, Dr. Rodriguez will share AACTE’s continuing important work for addressing learning loss, critical societal matters that affect education, and the shortage of teachers that has not abated.  

We will be discussing:

• Beyond waivers, what will be the ongoing role and status of simulation training for teachers? 
• What are the current funding streams available to graduate schools of education and teacher certification programs that allow for use of innovative solutions?
• What’s ahead in the challenge against the triple-headed crisis of COVID-19, systemic racism, and worsening teacher shortage?

Join Susan Wiley as she hosts Dr. Jacqueline Rodriguez for this very important conversation. Tuesday, May 11, 2021, 1pm Eastern (10am Pacific).
