Public Schools Week
February 22, 2021
AASA is pleased to join its partner, Learning First Alliance, in celebrating Public Schools Week. While school may not look like it used to, we remain committed to providing access to high-quality public education to every student and to educators like you who continue to make us #publicschoolproud.
Public schools and educators have faced immense challenges this past year, but we have also proven that we can be nimble, adaptive and persevere in the face of adversity. The pandemic has given us the chance to revitalize education as a public institution and incorporate strategies and processes proven effective in making education for all learners equitable, experiential, engaging and authentic.
This Public Schools Week, let's celebrate the wins and show the world why we're #publicschoolproud.
