As educators continue to grapple with these challenges, lessons have materialized that can pave the way for needed change. Education can ill afford to revert back to the way things were done in many districts and schools.

We don’t know for sure what education will look like in the future, but one thing is for sure, and that is the need to adapt and evolve.
