What matters most in helping students recover from the harms of COVID-19? What should families expect from our education system in terms of improving equity, supporting well-being, shoring up academic success? What are the biggest challenges going forward: teacher shortages, lack of data, lack of time?

Join this panel conversation with Laurier's Kelly Gallagher-McKay, Ardavan Eizadirad and jeewan chanicka (Director of Education, Waterloo Region District School Board) to discuss If I had 1.08 Billion Dollars Report and how we can work together to catch kids up and build back better after the pandemic and beyond.

Registrants will receive an e-mail 24 hours before the start of the program with an invitation to join.
