A report sharing the latest trends in student academic growth and achievement focused on the youngest grades: K-2 shows that progress in reading has stalled. While much of the national research has focused on grades 3-8, far less attention has been paid to the early grades. 

Teachers’ knowledge of the science of reading has improved in recent years, but gaps remain in curriculum adoption and educator training.

May and June are filled with mixed emotions for students and staff. Classrooms that have grown to become an extended family over the past nine months face goodbyes and new transitions, and future plans loom on the horizon.

Educators, workplace mentors, parents, and learners across the country can list what’s getting in the way of fully supporting young people. 

Since the pandemic, K-12 educators have made earnest efforts to provide safe and supportive havens for re-engaging young scholars who suffered tremendous learning loss and social isolation. English learners enrolled in diverse programs, whether bilingual or general education, count among the youths who were most victimized by distance education. 

Teachers can guide students to shift from looking for a right answer to thinking more critically about course content.
