Lessons from the Transition to Pandemic Education in the US: Analyses of Parent, Student, and Educator Experiences (Routledge Research in Education)
by Marni E. Fisher; Kimiya Sohrab Maghzi; Charlotte Achieng-Evensen; Meredith A. Dorner; Holly Pearson; Mina ChunThis volume narrates and shares the often-unheard voices of students, parents, and educators during the COVID-19 pandemic.
