Advancing Education
Help improve academic success and unlock the boundless potential within our community.
Reducing the impact of learning loss
Reading, writing and math are foundational skills that a strong education is built upon. Unfortunately, children who were learning these critical skills on Zoom or in independent study during the pandemic have fallen behind.

Reading

The average US public school student in grades 3-8 lost the equivalent of a half-year of learning in math and a quarter-year in reading, according to the Education Recovery Scorecard, a collaboration from researchers at the Center for Education Policy Research (CEPR) at Harvard University and Stanford University’s Educational Opportunity Project.
Learning loss will become permanent if schools and parents do not expand learning time this summer and next year.
