What happens when families choose pandemic pods?

Written by Elizabeth Romanski and Ann Gadzikowski

Narrated by Elizabeth Romanski, Ann Gadzikowski and Erica Ramberg

For the majority of students across the United States, this back-to-school season means going back to a screen. Some parents and communities have found creative and safety-minded ways to fill the gaps in their children's remote learning experiences; but for many without access to these so-called "pandemic pods" or other extra resources, the digital divide and opportunity gap have both only continued to widen. For this episode, our Raising Curious Learners co-hosts welcomed Erica Ramberg, faculty associate at the University of Wisconsin-Madison's School of Education, to consider how to best address inequities in education for students of color—those evident long before 2020 and especially exacerbated by COVID-19.
