Since the start of COVID-19 in 2020, states and school districts have made remarkable efforts to strategically manage the disruption caused by the pandemic by implementing prudent health and safety precautions, bridging the digital divide by improving remote/hybrid learning experiences for students and activating meaningful support of students and faculty alike. However, the data shows that if the status quo is left unchanged, the disadvantages faced by students of color are likely to translate into profound learning loss as these students are projected to return to school six to 12 months behind their peers and. If left unaddressed, these equity gaps will result in ever so widening achievement gaps.
As educational leaders consider support measures and intervention strategies centered around access to both technology and in-person teaching, research suggests that students will need specific and formal opportunities to build foundational skills that translate into learning how to learn in order to lead to improved engagement, greater collaboration, and effective self-regulated learning. Join us for a comprehensive look at Executive Function centered education and its impact on student preparedness for transitions essential in secondary education and beyond!
