In today’s show, we delve back into the K-12 space to address the topic of learning loss.
A 2020 article from the American Education Research Association found that students in grades one through eight lost an average of 17-34 percent from the prior year’s learning gains over the summer break. When you tack on a few years of remote schooling due to a pandemic, that number only increases.
To discuss this issue further, we welcomed Dr. Kiana Pendleton, Principal at Laurel Magnet School for the Arts. Dr. Pendleton and Dr. Ford discussed the myths surrounding magnet school, the role of good leadership in combating learning loss, using qualitative and quantitative data to track student progress and the importance of offering professional development opportunities that fit into a teacher’s lifestyle.
