We talk with teachers, mental health professionals, and administrators about the challenges this fall from our hour long One Detroit Special: Education in the Time of COVID-19.

• The Uncertainty of Teachers for the Fall Nolan Finley talked with two middle school teachers, Jeanie Wilson, Science Teacher at Ann Arbor STEAM at Northside, and Patrick Harris, English and Social Studies teacher at Detroit Achievement Academy, about the future of in-classroom teaching and concerns about health.
• New Plans for the Detroit Public Schools Community District Stephen Henderson interviews Dr. Nikolai Vitti, Superintendent of Detroit Public Schools Community District, on the changes coming this fall to the district, including shorter days and smaller class sizes.

School psychologists, counselors, and social workers are going to be in need more than ever before.
