Using assessment data
to address unfinished
learning and systemic
opportunity gaps
Unfinished learning isn’t a new concept in education. When students aren’t attending school, they’re likely to forget some of what they have learned, and each year, educators ask just how much kids may not have retained during the “summer slide.” That’s become an increasingly important question as students and teachers respond to continue to recover from pandemic disruptions and a changed landscape in the classroom.
It’s critical that educators understand individual student learning needs, but what’s the best way to evaluate students and create responsive plans to put their needs first? Solutions require reliable, timely data.
