RISE UP Coalition: The Myth of Learning Loss: Where Students of Color are Excelling

The deficit narrative of “learning loss” in reference to the pandemic learning experience of Black and Brown students has permeated the dominant education sector messaging. The truth is students of color are thriving and excelling from innovative opportunities provided by BILPOC-led districts, charters and organizations. Join us for a discussion and demonstration of how culturally-native approaches are resonating with students of color.
