August means it’s back-to-school month, and as you’d expect, things are looking a lot different this year. In our annual education feature, we discuss the changing landscape of learning. From new health protocols to a reliance on virtual classes, the pandemic has surely shifted the educational paradigm on its head. We also touch on Oklahoma’s educational rankings, the importance of international students and get a check-in with the Oklahoma State Department of Education. We honor the high school class of 2020 in our Outstanding Seniors piece. Get to know a handful of promising Oklahoma students who are heading off to universities across the nation this month. Get updates on some of the state’s tribal nations in our Native America spotlight. See how each is handling the COVID-19 pandemic, and dive into native representation in the media. We also touch on the ways nations are investing into their younger generations. All that and more can be found in this month's issue!
