"A real opportunity to educate our students better:" is it time to rethink the traditional school day?

Schools have had to deal with a lot over the last couple of years as the pandemic rolled on. On top of that, many folks have been anxious for schools to get back to how they used to operate before COVID-19. But should that be the goal? Or, does this moment in time present an opportunity to reimagine the approach to public education? Dr. Jeff Rhodes, the Director of School Improvement Services for NWEA, a nonprofit focused on education, shares his opinions on how the education system can better serve its students. Dr. Rhodes is also a former School District of Philadelphia assistant superintendent.
