Redesigning a school (during a Pandemic): Lessons from Asia

April 20, 2020 | Amanda Riske, Melissa Warr, Steven Weiner, Kevin Close, Punya Mishra, Luis Perez Cortes and Ben Scragg | Design, systems |

The COVID-19 pandemic has forced educators to rapidly shift classes and coursework into online formats…but what about the other aspects of school? How do counselors, performing arts directors, and librarians support a school community that has suddenly gone virtual? Months before schools shut down across the US and Europe, educators in Asia were already grappling with these questions and have accumulated a wealth of knowledge about what works and what doesn’t –and now they want to share what they have learned.

Join us on Friday, April 24th at 6 PM MDT to hear from educators in Korea and Hong Kong about how they have adapted, reimagined, and redesigned their roles and kept their schools’ Culture alive during the crisis. 

This panel discussion will be live-streamed on YouTube  bit.ly/TADLiveStream and also available for viewing on talkingaboutdesign.com shortly after the event has ended.
