Opportunities in the Midst of COVID-19: Innovative Ways States are Using this Moment to Rethink Education

The United States Department of Education’s Rethink K-12 Education Models Discretionary Grant Program gave states an incentive to accelerate their plans to scale up flexible and remote learning options, plan out professional development modules and create a new system—either virtual or in person—designed to best meet everyone’s needs. A total of 39 states applied and award announcements are expected to be released sometime this week. Our team at Education First was pleased to work with ten of those states to support the development of their grant application. We were interested to see both the innovations and the similarities in their thinking, and we are excited to share our full analysis and observations in our latest publication Opportunities in the Midst of COVID-19: Innovative Ways States are Using this Moment to Rethink Education.
