Unfinished learning is usually a result of disruption in learning, causing students – particularly those students who are marginalized — to miss out on skills and concepts required to progress to subsequent content. Listen in to this week’s episode as Wendy Amato and Kelly Mokashi share strategies that teachers at any grade level can use to help every student as they head back into classrooms. You’ll learn strategies to bridge the learning loss gap with acceleration, recovery, and retention (Check out this course by Kelly Mokashi to dive deeper into this topic: Bringing Students from Unfinished Learning to Soaring Achievement).
