COVID-19 upended the education of America’s 50 million students. In response, the Aspen Education & Society Program created resources to assist education and policy leaders as they continue to make key decisions in ongoing response to the pandemic. These resources include a shared set of principles for developing and evaluating education policy in response to the COVID-19.
