💻 Today’s post is from @ArborEdu and is an interesting article regarding their trusts change of language to close potential gaps in student knowledge. Rather than “catch up” they’re using measuring, mapping & mastering to track progress.
How are you approaching the post-covid "catch-up" at your school? Is "closing the gap" the best use of language?
Hear how schools in @AspirationsAT are pioneering a much more positive approach, focusing on student wellbeing 👇
