Leaders from the Coalition of Community-Based Heritage Language Schools and the International Heritage Languages Association (IHLA) discuss how heritage language schools have adapted to the COVID-19 crisis and share survey responses from teachers and school leaders from across the United States.

 Ana Lucia Lico and Joy Kreeft Peyton, Coalition of Community-Based Heritage Language Schools, describe responses to two surveys of U.S. teachers and school leaders during this time.

Nina Paulovicova and Trudie Aberdeen, International and Heritage Languages Association (IHLA), describe responses to interviews that they conducted with Canadian teachers in heritage language schools.
