The pandemic was a catalyst for school choice movements across the U. S. Many parents reacted to school closings by exploring alternatives to traditional public schools including an important and likely permanent innovation small parent-created or “pod” schools. As the papers here detail long term student learning loss and health and socioemotional impacts of COVID-19 closings may well last for decades. The volume concludes by exploring teacher experiences across different sectors following the pandemic.
