Co-Hosted by the Learning First Alliance and UCLA Center for the Transformation of Schools.

Education policies have too often ignored how conditions outside of school can alter life chances for young people, especially students of color, before they even reach the classroom.

Our Children Can't Wait: The Urgency of Reinventing Education Policy, a new book and podcast, urges educators and lawmakers to reconsider what education policy is, what it could be, who it is for, and who should be directly shaping it at all levels of government.

Lead author and podcast host Dr. Joseph Bishop of UCLA, NEA President Becky Pringle, former Minnesota State Representative Carlos Mariani, and President of the Association of California School Administrators Dr. Erin Simon translate the book’s roadmap for equity to Learning First Alliance members and partners.
