It is amazing to think that something could derail our society - and the world at large - like COVID did. It may be the most significant interruption to most people's lives in the past 40 years. After all, many Americans have not be touched by war in the way they were through Vietnam and WWII, and even 9/11 caused only a limited disruption to daily living (and some permanent changes after). It is hard to imagine that anyone out there has not been impacted in some way by this pandemic.
But what does that mean for education and for people (and society) for the coming 20, 30, or 50 years? We're talking about the the COVID generation goes to college. An article in Forbs magazine gets into the details. So does the New York Times. And if you are more visual/auditory: Education Now: Transition from High School to College for the Pandemic Generation This 30-minute-long presentation from the Harvard Graduate School of Education talks a lot about what we need to expect from and how to support students who were impacted at this crucial time. Time will tell the impact. But we are watching, dealing, and healing.
