Overview
Educators have always had to address a wide range of academic levels – but now more than ever. Instead of focusing only on remediation, which research has shown can perpetuate learning gaps, we will explore the importance of presenting grade level content in a way that is accessible to all students – accelerating growth by chunking learning into manageable pieces and embedding supports into instruction.
Audience
This session is designed for teachers, coaches, and leaders who want to prioritize grade level content to accelerate learning for their students. This workshop is targeted to support educators to launch into the school year with the ability to articulate the shifts in practice needed to address academic gaps and unfinished learning that occurred during COVID.
