Notes from the Epicentre: Frontline K-12 Leaders Pioneering a New Normal for Global Education

Wuhan, New York, Milan and Seoul. All have been (or currently are) major epicentres in the COVID-19 pandemic. K-12 leaders in these areas have made massive changes to their operations, teaching, and behaviour at great pace.

In the first virtual Learnit, we’re in conversation with luminaries who are leading their teachers and learners through transformational times, and preparing their institutions for a new normal. What will K-12 education look like on the other side of this pandemic? How can we support teachers, parents and learners today and prepare best for education post COVID-19?

Moderated by Jenny Anderson, Senior Reporter for Quartz, featuring panelists:
- Erika Carlson, Head Principal, Wuhan Yangtze International School (Wuhan, China)
- Ju-Ho Lee, Chair of the Education Workforce Initiative and former Minister of Education, Science, and Technology of the Republic of Korea (Seoul, South Korea)
- David Newman, Principal, Brooklyn Technical High School (New York, USA)
- Iain Sachdev, Principal, International School of Monza (Milan, Italy)
