@ProfEmilyOster in your extensive research, have you uncovered the definitive guide to surface transmission? We're re-evaluating the playground is closed mentality.

@ProfEmilyOster @AISNE1 @WFISStateCAPE @NWAISconnect @ISACSnews hoping we’ve been in touch with @ProfEmilyOster @amshq us too

Good morning! I am looking for your help. The school dashboard project continues; it's a big lift. The team is awesome, and they are working all the time (shout out to @lizfrances this morning...) BUT we need all the help we can get on distribution.

What can you do? (1/4)

Check out the new app "Chicago Bike Routes," created by Paul Esling from CNT. It combines CDOT's Chicago Bike Map with the Chicago Reader's Mellow Chicago Bike Map for easy smartphone navigation.

What could it take to bring students back to classrooms safely? I got a tour of a small, Northside Chicago school that plans to open next week.

Official sources have fallen down on the task of collecting data on schools and COVID-19. I'm partnering with @AASAHQ , @NAESP, @NASSP and @Qualtrics to try to pick up the slack.

Announcement below. Aiming for public data within a month.

CHILD CARE & COVID ROUNDUP, 8/21: In my opinion, there is a massively under-reported story going on, which is just how *few* outbreaks (multiple related cases) are happening in child care settings, despite being open through our long hot pandemic summer. Let's go around the horn.

@DrBradJohnson I have a few ideas about that to help Ts think about creating a positive and engaging environment for Ss. https://t.co/3zwAqiVWAY

@greenfieldjohn Is it possible to order a copy of this map? I missed it as an insert.

@ProfEmilyOster @munirshivji is the ED at @amshq

@ProfEmilyOster How can schools that are reopening help you in data collection?

[Emily Oster @ProfEmilyOster]

Poll: Are you considering creating a "learning pod" for your children in the fall? (i.e. a homeschool group with teacher you hire)

[Benjamin J Blair @benjaminjblair]

@CTULocal1 Thanks for the reply. It seems as there is no overlap between the conversations being had? One district officials. Another Union officials. But not a group composed of both?
