As our nation reflects on and recovers from COVID, Higher Achievement is honored to offer a learning opportunity to our community. NPR Education reporter Anya Kamenetz, author of The Stolen Year, will join us for a virtual discussion of her book on January 4th at 1 p.m. After her remarks, a panel of respondents will ask questions and offer context about the education and out-of-school time sector. We will also offer an opportunity for guests to ask questions of the author and respondents.
Higher Achievement is committed to making our events accessible to everyone. If you require an accommodation or service to fully participate, please fill out this form at least one week prior to the event.
