LOS ANGELES - June 1, 2020 - PRLog -- The reopening of schools could require a series of drastic, disruptive measures and may impact children, particularly in marginalized communities. Educators Leading the Change will convene a panel of educators from various school systems throughout the country to share their proposals on innovative ways to narrow the achievement gap amid Covid. The Keynote speaker is Dr. Lynette Tannis- An adjunct Lecturer at Harvard School of Education. The virtual conference will take place on Saturday, June 6, 2020, at 10:00 AM PST/1:00 PM EST.

"In some marginalized communities, students are at least two years behind the national average. This could mean students requiring Special Education services and Standard English learners would almost certainly go without some of the support they would have received in person. Educators Leading the Change aim is to ensure proper and equitable
infrastructure for all children," said Kimberly A. Morrow, Coordinator, Curriculum and Instruction Mary B. Henry Academy.

Educators will discuss innovative student-centered solutions and seek input from fellow educators, parents, and caregivers. Proposals will become available after the summit on the website. For more information on Educators Leading the Change, register at
