Education Round-Up: Week of August 24th, 2020
Welcome the final week of August! Secondary schools, as well as colleges and universities, are starting to "head back" across the US, and making the most of a tough situation is on everyone's minds. On this week's Education Round-Up, you'll find the first in a new series about circle singing, a podcast update, and a few other odds and ends from around the aca-sphere.
As always, send a message to [email protected] if you have articles/events/podcasts to share, and we'll make sure it makes the next Round-Up!
