Schools are closed, and Zoom is the new classroom for thousands of Bay Area students. Tonight on City Visions (new time from 9-10pm) on KALW local public radio we’ll discuss how local school districts are handling distance learning, get tips from teachers and hear about what we can do to create equitable learning experiences for all.

We’ll also get an update on the latest local pandemic developments and hear a specially composed reflection on life in the COVID-19 era by Bay Area novelist Vanessa Hua.

Guests will include:

  • Erin Allday, health reporter, San Francisco Chronicle
  • Dr. Peter Chin-Hong, professor of medicine and infectious diseases specialist, UCSF
  • JC Farr, principal, Tamalpais High School in Marin County
  • Lisa Kelly, 6th grade English teacher at the Life Academy in Oakland
  • Jill Tucker, K-12 education reporter, San Francisco Chronicle
  • Vanessa Hua, novelist whose books include “Deceipt and Other Possibilities” and “A River of Stars”
