Over the past year, the phrase learning loss has been widely used to describe the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on student learning. Despite the interruption to schooling, there are many anecdotes, artifacts, and data that pint to student and educator learning, progress, strength, and resilience. While student academic learning may be unfinished, it is not lost.

With commitment and care, leaders and educators can engage in data and collaborative practices to support positive impacts to well-being, social-emotional needs, and academics.

Join this session to explore the necessary components for building a strong culture of data use, learn practical ways to support educators' and students' social and emotional well-being, and understand how to use MAP Growth data to support student access to grade-level instruction. You will walk away with a toolkit of strategies and resources, all of which will strengthen your implementation of OTES 2.0.

*Please bring a fully charged laptop and your MAP login credentials.
