Children’s Defense Fund Freedom Schools offer hope for education challenges | Guestview
In nearly every sector, the pandemic exacerbated extant challenges, and education is no exception. The effects of learning loss, teacher shortages and disparities in access feel more pressing than ever, and yet there is reason to be optimistic. Effective, evidence-based interventions do exist. One of those is Children’s Defense Fund Freedom Schools.
At the University of West Florida College of Education and Professional Studies, our faculty conduct research to better understand and identify solutions to challenges facing educators. This scholarship informs how we prepare teacher candidates for the classroom.
