CoSN Podcast: Closing the Gap with Marcia Kish (S2, E5)

In this episode of the CoSN Podcast, Marcia Kish discusses how educators can begin closing  the gap created by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Today we’re joined by Marcia Kish, Chief Innovation Officer with DSD Professional Development, to discuss one of the pressing issues facing educators of all roles: closing knowledge gaps created or exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. School leaders and classroom teachers have a clear understanding of the challenges students have faced, the goals that have been set for their learning, and the urgency of achieving a great start to the new academic year. The question now: how can we ensure success?

Marcia tackles this issue from a variety of angles, including a discussion of the challenges teachers have observed and how to communicate these insights to technology directors and other administrators; the best ways to assess students’ current knowledge levels to allow for meaningful personalized instruction; how to increase student engagement (and avoid disengagement) to enable better learning; how technology leaders can support blended learning and other effective approaches; and more.
