Schooling Loss and Peer interaction Loss is not the same as  Learning Loss By Kelly Niccolls - Getting Smart

Schooling Loss and Peer interaction Loss is not the same as  Learning Loss By Kelly Niccolls - Getting Smart | Professional Learning for Busy Educators | Scoop.it

"The narrative of “learning loss” is weaponizing static achievement against young people and families in ways that further harms them in a time of global pandemic and disarray. Instead of falling back on the nostalgia of an outdated and mechanized education system, we must push forward into the global shift of our human existence and post-pandemic learning needs and opportunities. As we design teaching and learning now, and in the future, it is best we recycle the good mineral components of the previous education machine and build new resources for teaching and learning that serves the needs of all of our futures."

The Pandemic Has Revealed What Really Matters in Education. (Spoiler: It’s Not Tests.) by Kamilah Drummond-Forrester

The Pandemic Has Revealed What Really Matters in Education. (Spoiler: It’s Not Tests.) by Kamilah Drummond-Forrester | Professional Learning for Busy Educators | Scoop.it

"A few weeks ago, I participated in a webinar with K-12 students, parents and teachers about how online learning is going. You might be surprised to hear that the news was not all bad. The students, in particular, had some good things to say about their virtual experience: They liked that teachers were focusing more on everyone’s mental health and wellbeing, and less on grades. They liked that the standardized tests for the year had been cancelled."
