Episode 85: Crisis School and Challenging Success with Dr. Denise Pope

The Family Brain with Megan Gipson

When this pandemic and crisis schooling struck, I was thinking a lot about a conversation I had with Stanford professor Dr. Denise Pope on an early episode of The Family Brain. Her research is all about questioning how we measure learning and what success means in schools and what better time to revisit this conversation than during this wild ride of Covid-19 and schooling. I spoke with Dr. Pope at the tail end of crisis schooling for my kids, but the questions about what schools will look like in the fall continue to dominate the news and brains of parents everywhere. I find comfort in reminding myself that the meaning of success varies and that by looking at it in a new way we may find some silver linings in the challenges we are currently facing.
