About this video

Effects of the Covid-19 pandemic have called into question what the institution "school" as we know it really means. While classes become remote or non-existent, bigger questions emerge like: "What does learning itself mean?" and "How does learning about the past prepare us for the present?" BRI staff Rachel, Gary, and Kirk, examine the purpose of social studies education in a crisis, and techniques for conveying this importance to students.
