Start Smart: Reopening School After COVID Learning Loss

Edmentum maintains its #educatorfirst commitment by providing guidance and support to educators during these complicated times. This paper combines a review of state recommendations with information taken from educational research groups to build a cohesive picture of recommendations and best practices that can guide educators in maximizing learning outcomes in the 2020-21 school year.

Edmentum's recommended school reopening plan centers on the following ideals:

• Social-emotional learning (SEL) and an equity focus are at the heart of learning.
• The combination of a Double-Dose Plan and an Acceleration Plan are the instructional spine.
• Training for educator, learner, and family surround this solution, making these components work together, in school and at home.
