HOW TO CLOSE WIDENING ACHIEVEMENT GAPS
According to the National Center for Education Statistics, achievement gaps occur when a group of students such as, students grouped by nationality, ethnicity, gender, or socio-economics outperforms another group on tests and the difference in average scores is statistically significant. The Washington Post published a story earlier this year stating that millions of students are at risk of severe learning loss during the coronavirus pandemic and education scholar and author Richard Rothstein predicts the Covid-19 pandemic will take existing academic achievement gaps between middle-class and low-income students and “explode†them. Also, in May, Forbes magazine stated that education experts are predicting wider achievement gaps between groups of students as a result of Covid-related school closures and how much learning was lost this year. It’s time Educational Leaders look at proven, time-tested pedagogical solutions like 21st Century Study Skills based on SQ3R to empower students to score higher on tests and achieve their full academic potential and close the gaps.
