Close Gaps

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.

Now is the time to power up your tier 1 core instruction.

If you are in a brick and mortar

Developed by experts to work in online or blended classrooms, the Virtual Core Instruction Power Pack is built upon more than 20 years of proven, evidence-based methodologies that empower teachers and students to better collaborate on rigorous, Tier 1 core instruction in virtual settings via ZoomMicrosoft TeamsGoogle Classroom, and any other platform.
