Students during COVID-19
You have first-hand experience with the changes and challenges COVID-19 has brought.
Online learning only compounds the added stress, instability, and fear students are already feeling. Studies have shown that students are likely to have >50% learning loss this year! They also show that one-on-one tutoring is the most effective way to help students catch up.
Students are depending on us to catch them up in a way unlike any other school year. We need to be cognizant of this and ensure we are empowering every student to learn.
An excellent way to do so is to be prepared to explain concepts more fully than in years prior. For instance, you may encounter students who are supposed to factor by the sum of cubes and don’t know what factoring is or what polynomials are. Or maybe you have a student who is solving multi-step linear equations and they don’t know how to work with negative numbers.
