In 2020, school leaders worldwide faced the unprecedented challenge of a global pandemic, COVID 19. In response, AAIE initiated and facilitated weekly conversations. The outcome of these conversations is a collaborative, sustained inquiry into that compelling question “What have we learned that may change our schools for good in all senses of the word?".
