The new normal for millions of parents across the country involves not only adjusting to working from home, but also taking on new responsibilities for educating their children.

The stresses being placed on parents during the COVID-19 pandemic prompted the launch of a new livestream video series hosted by Professor James Mazza, who teaches in the University of Washington College of Education’s school psychology program, and his wife, a licensed psychologist and certified DBT therapist, Elizabeth Dexter-Mazza.

U.S. News & World Report has ranked the University of Washington College of Education No. 14 among the nation's best education schools — and No. 6 among education schools at public institutions — in its annual graduate school ratings, released March 17.

Dean Mia Tuan noted that the ranking reflects the College’s dedication to partnering with educators, schools and communities to advance educational opportunity for young people.

Several guides designed to support child and family well-being during periods of school and childcare program closures, compiled by University of Washington College of Education faculty and staff, are now available.
