Follow on Google News | "Virtual Summit To Focus On Learning Gaps and Disparities Amid Covid"Educators present innovative proposals to narrow achievement gap.
By: Olivia Almagro "In some marginalized communities, students are at least two years behind the national average. This could mean students requiring Special Education services and Standard English learners would almost certainly go without some of the support they would have received in person. Educators Leading the Change aim is to ensure proper and equitable infrastructure for all children," said Kimberly A. Morrow, Coordinator, Curriculum and Instruction Mary B. Henry Academy. Educators will discuss innovative student-centered solutions and seek input from fellow educators, parents, and caregivers. Proposals will become available after the summit on the website.
