COVID-19 disruptions have had a modest impact on students’ reading performance and a more significant impact on math performance. But is there more to the story? And what critical steps should school and district leaders take to get their students back on track?
Get the answers in this research-based edWebinar for K–12 educators and education leaders. You’ll gain key insights from Renaissance’s new How Kids Are Performing report, along with strategies for:
- Rethinking the typical school day in the era of COVID-19
- Equitably meeting students’ instructional needs at each grade level
- Making the most effective use of your assessment tools this year
- Using the COVID-19 disruptions to make fundamental—and much-needed—changes to how we provide services to our students
This edWebinar will be of interest to K-12 teachers, school and district leaders, assessment directors, curriculum directors, academic coaches, and interventionists. There will be time for questions at the end of the presentation.
