Here’s how LSI is working with districts to transform virtual core instruction with a focus on accelerating learning, increasing engagement,
and most importantly – closing history’s largest achievement gaps.
Overcome Instructional Challenges During COVID-19 Distance Learning:
Manage Your Classroom, Teach Virtually and Close Equity Gaps
The COVID-19 pandemic has led to the largest disruption of education ever, with research showing all students have lost 3 months of math learning and 1.5 months of learning in reading. The loss is greater for students of color, who lost 3-5 months of learning in mathematics.1
According to EdWeek,2 student engagement is down by more than half and nearly 3 out of 4 teachers are not able to focus on delivering standards-aligned instruction during e-learning.
Now more than ever, teachers need to be able to deliver effective virtual core instruction.
