March 11 marked five years since the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic. The Ford School's Christina Weiland discusses continued effects in education, business and society.
Weiland is co-director of the Education Policy Initiative. Her areas of focus include early education and educators, preschool and kindergarten. She is particularly interested in the active ingredients that drive children’s gains in successful, at-scale public preschool programs.
“We are still grappling with significant staffing shortages in early education classrooms. This is a major challenge for quality for educators, and for parents,” she said.
