Episode Three: Should We Worry About Pandemic Learning Loss?

To The Core: An Education Podcast For Parents

Does it hurt children to measure pandemic learning loss? Are we going to stigmatize an entire generation of kids? And WHAT do we do as parents about standardized tests and this upcoming school year?
In this episode of To The Core, we get to the core of these questions with Dr. Jemelleh Nurse Coes, the 2014 Georgia Teacher of the Year and the Director of Teacher Leadership Programs at Mount Holyoke College. We'll tackle this issue in a way that helps give us some much-needed peace of mind as parents and caregivers. The best advice you'll receive from Dr. Coes? As parents, just focus on making your child feel invincible. The rest will come.
