Pandemic Pass - Parents and COVID 103 (PART 2)

This is part 2 of episode 3 - Siddons chats with Dr. Umut Ozek,  Principal Researcher with the Analysis of Longitudinal Data in Education Research Program at the American Institutes for Research. You can find him on twitter @uozek Dr. Özek's research interests include immigrant students, implementation and consequences of educational accountability, design and effects of school choice programs, and value-added measurement. I honestly couldn't have found a better guy to talk to as it pertains to Covid, education, and parents. We talk about his experience as a parent - first hand in dealing with the pandemic at home with his own children - Dr. Ozek's children attend Fairfax County Public Schools -  With over 185,000 students enrolled, FCPS is the largest public school system in Virginia, and the 12th largest in the nation. We also chat about how he views these challenges from his perspective as an immigration and education researcher. Dr. Ozek is an incredibly smart guy and I was so privileged to have him join me - this is part 2 of Episode 3 of Pandemic Pass, Parents and COVID.
