Students have experienced more unfinished learning over the past year than ever before. Two key strategies have emerged to move forward—remediation or acceleration. @zearned’s new report with @TNTP shows why acceleration is the right approach. Here are our findings. #EdChat

The orange line follows remediation classes. Their struggles grew & they experienced significantly more struggle than the acceleration cohort (green).

This @MetroSchools year has been challenging to say the least. Yet through all of the challenges our MNPS community has met it all head on. Our teachers, Principals and support staff have adapted in the most amazing ways to keep students first. Our parents have sacrificed
