Marcia Kish, Chief Innovation Officer with DSD Professional Development, joins this episode of the podcast to discuss one of the pressing issues facing educators of all roles: closing knowledge gaps created or exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. School leaders and classroom teachers clearly understand the challenges students have faced, the goals set for their learning, and the urgency of achieving a great start to the new academic year. The question now is: how can we ensure success?
Kish and edCircuit tackle this issue from a variety of angles, including a discussion of the challenges teachers have observed and how to communicate these insights to technology directors and other administrators, the best ways to assess students’ current knowledge levels to allow for meaningful, personalized instruction; how to increase student engagement (and avoid disengagement) to enable better learning; how technology leaders can support blended learning and other effective approaches; and more.
