CTS Hosts New Webinar Series Exploring “Our Children Can’t Wait”

In a new book, “Our Children Can’t Wait: The Urgency of Reinventing Education Policy in America, a range of scholars call out for a national education agenda centered on community conditions to address structural racism, air quality, housing, public health, community safety, segregation and other issues essential to improving learning opportunities and the health and wellbeing of students.  The book urges readers to reconsider what education policy is, what it could be, who it is for, and who should be directly shaping it at all levels of government. Experts present a new equity roadmap by bridging scholarship, ideas, and original thinking on education policy as a vehicle for setting a redemptive path forward for reckoning with race in America.

Wednesday, February 8, in the first of a new series of webinars exploring “Our Children Can’t Wait, several authors of key chapters in the book will discuss education policy related to racism in schools, public health and education, and air quality and student learning outcomes.
