How can we help our students recover from pandemic learning loss in mathematics?

As we look ahead, to our students' long-term ability to succeed in math and STEM, our task ahead as teachers is both complex and of far-reaching importance.

This is why today I invited Elly Blanco- Rowe, a senior educational consultant for Teaching Matters, to share with us tips to help our students overcome math learning loss.

As an experienced teacher with over 20 years of coaching and school leadership, Elly advocates for equitable, culturally responsive mathematics instruction for all children. She holds a Master's in Teaching from Pace University, an MBA from Ba-Ruk College, and a Master's in School Building Leadership from Mercy College. She is also currently a doctoral student at Fordham University in Educational Leadership, Administration, and Policy.
