Close Learning Gaps to Keep Students on Track

December 27, 2018

In school districts across the country, far too many students arrive at middle school and high school with significant learning gaps that prevent them from mastering grade-level content.Research shows that when these struggling students embark on their secondary education with significant learning gaps, they progress more slowly than their peers, further widening the gap with each passing semester.² Without filling these gaps in subject-area knowledge and skills, these students are at risk of increased frustration in coursework and ultimately dropping out of school before graduation. When students struggle with prerequisite and grade-level content, they often spend more time trying to catch up and less time on building the critical thinking and problem-solving skills they will need for college and career.
