Kristie J. Napolitano – New England College Journal of Applied Educational Research, 2022
I will never forget March 13, 2020. There are events people remember for the rest of their lives (e.g., 9/11), and, for me, March 13, 2020, is one of those events. Life changed for almost everyone after March of 2020. Schools closed overnight, and teachers, parents, and students had to adapt to new ways to learn and to support students. This…

Hirsh-Pasek, Kathy; Golinkoff, Roberta Michnick; Nesbitt, Kimberly; Lautenbach, Carol; Blinkoff, Elias; Fifer, Ginger – Teachers College Press, 2022
