Washington, DC – The Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute hosts its next virtual briefing on Education and Equity in a Post-COVID Society this Wednesday, June 3^rd from 1pm to 4pm EST.

The briefing will consist of two sessions both moderated by Marco Davis, President and CEO of CHCI:

Part One will focus on Pre-K-12 education with policy leaders and education experts.  Panelists will discuss the needs of teaching professionals post pandemic; share best practices; adaptations of pedagogy to the digital classroom; and strengthening education that addresses ways forward in Hispanic communities.
