Covid-19 has shined a spotlight on educational disparities for children. Beginning in March 2020, schools across the US shuttered their doors for what would be the remainder of the school year. Families were charged with the burden of educating their children at home while working either at home or in the community. Covid-19 has revealed marked educational disparities between children in higher income and lower income communities in terms of the amount of teacher delivered instruction, access to technology devices, and digital connectivity.
This conversation focuses on recent research of parents’ experiences with schooling from home. The potential impact on children’s learning is considered, as well as how this “new normal” may affect family eating habits, physical activity, social connectivity, and mental health. Discussion was encouraged to generate ideas, especially around opportunities for resilience and strategies to help families overcome the many obstacles yet to come.

School of Nursing Assistant Dean, Janet Rico, and Clinical Professor, Laura Mylott, highlight the work of nurses caring for the most vulnerable in community settings during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Their conversation will focus on nurses practicing in nursing homes, assisted living facilities, group homes, homecare, hospice, schools, and homeless shelters, who have been providing care with less than optimal resources, and putting their own safety at risk to support patients outside of the hospital setting. Many have faced ethical dilemmas and held up under incredible stressors, including grief. In spite of all that, they have shared the common themes of professional pride and joy in making a huge impact. Their work is truly inspirational.
