Covid has impacted our kids' education on many levels including learning delays and learning losses. Although statistics show learning loss across all ages and grades, graduation rates have stayed stable. Unfortunately, that means that many high school students are likely graduating with academic deficits. As a result, those who transition to college are beginning classes at a disadvantage, and students with disabilities who are compounded by learning deficits are even more at risk. Today I share some strategies that could help mitigate those challenges. I have links to a couple of resources that might help parents and teachers support their students. You will also get links to some helpful episodes and articles.
