Kristina Kyles-Smith, writing for ASCD:
In addressing post-pandemic learning gaps, I encourage educators to stay proactive in examining and challenging the existing structures, policies, and practices that perpetuate the overemphasis on remediation and limit opportunities for certain students.
I couldn't agree more. In fact, I'd go further to argue that deeper learning shouldn't just be an alternative to remediation; it should be the primary tier 1 instructional strategy for all students, irrespective of their academic standing.
