Teachers and leaders made big decisions every day that impact learners. One of the most critical is supporting students with gaps in a way that creates success. Let’s be honest. Students caught in a remedial path/mindset can lose their love of learning…and may just give up.
A different path for students with gaps is the subject of our short podcast. Suzy Pepper Rollins advocates for tactically accelerating students who are behind. This process inserts prior knowledge in students’ paths just in time for new learning. This creates success for TODAY’s learning, rather than remediation, which pounds away at past failures. In addition, she has placed a short power point on the site with tips for acceleration.
