Pulling our schools out of the devastating impact of the pandemic is a challenge we are all facing. To do it, we need to marshal our collective talent, expertise, and knowledge to identify what is working to positively impact student learning. The RESTART Network is harnessing this power, as well as research and evidence, authentic collaboration, and broad dissemination to identify and understand what is working across the U.S. to support students and educators.

Figuring out how to use our time to support recovery efforts is challenging. We want to invest in evidence-based strategies, but we do not yet have enough information to make these decisions. The RESTART Network focuses on gathering, synthesizing, and translating education research into practice so that leaders and practitioners in states, districts, and schools can readily access evidence-based strategies to meet the needs of students.
