About the Program
Learning gaps are a growing concern after a year of online instruction. During the pandemic, uneven distribution of resources may have widened gaps and led to learning loss for some students. PPIC researchers will present findings and moderate a panel discussion on how California school districts addressed remote learning in spring 2020 and strategies to improve instruction in the 2020-21 school year.
