COVID pandemic creates rare opportunity for education reform, experts say Updated 7:38 AM; By Katie Lannan and Chris Lisinski | State House News Service Education advocates and experts told state senators on Wednesday that the disruption caused by the COVID-19 crisis presents a unique opportunity to reform aspects of all levels of schooling and encouraged them to act before that moment passes Massachusetts by. “I think we’re in a very short window of opportunity, about a five-year window of opportunity, to make transformational, high-quality, systematic, sustainable changes in education, and I’m urgent about our following through on that,” Hardin Coleman of the Boston University Wheelock College of Education and Human Development told members of a Senate committee.

Digital divide flagged among immediate needs for Hinds-led committee

Addressing gaps in digital access will be among the early focus areas for a new Senate panel tasked with envisioning what Massachusetts might look like on the other side of the COVID-19 crisis. The Senate s Special Committee on Reimagining Massachusetts: Post Pandemic Resiliency, chaired by Pittsfield Sen. Adam Hinds, plans to hold its first listening session Tuesday afternoon, with testimony covering issues of housing, the digital divide, workforce inequities and topics relating to Southeastern Massachusetts. Modeled after working groups like the one Senate President Karen Spilka convened last session to shape the body s early pandemic response, the new committee is chaired by Hinds and includes the Senate chairs of joint committees on housing, racial equity, education, and labor and workforce development.
