Education Gadfly Show #819: The pod on (pandemic) pods

Michael J. Petrilli Amber M. Northern, Ph.D. Ashley Jochim
5.11.2022
 

On this week’s Education Gadfly Show podcast, Ashley Jochim, a principal at the Center on Reinventing Public Education, joins Mike Petrilli to discuss her research on pandemic learning pods, what parents and educators liked about them, and whether they might outlive the Covid emergency. Then, on the Research Minute, Amber Northern reviews a study of how New York City’s charter schools are affecting diversity in traditional public schools.

Recommended content:

  • Ashley’s February 2022 report: Crisis Breeds Innovation: Pandemic Pods and the Future of Education.
  • The study that Amber reviewed on the Research Minute: Sarah A. Cordes & Agustina Laurito, “Choice and Change: The Implications of Charter School Expansion for School and Neighborhood Diversity in NYC,” retrieved from the Annenberg Institute at Brown University (April 2022).
