According to data from the American Enterprise Institute and EdWeek Research Center, school districts across the country are reporting sharp and consistent increases in chronic absenteeism and behavior problems, both of which are negatively impacting academic achievement. While many districts believe these problems are a result of the pandemic, the fact remains these are serious problems that require real-time interventions to get students back on track.
During the edLeader Panel “Redefining PD: Strategies that Amplify Math & Literacy Achievement,” educational leaders were introduced to a shift from conventional professional development to high-impact professional learning, aimed at reversing the trend of stagnating or declining test scores.
