NEW YORK, Aug. 10, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- As the nation works to collectively get students back on track after pandemic-era learning disruptions, new research provides promising evidence that learning acceleration can help all students catch up and move forward in math.

Key Points: 
  • New Zearn research shows that students engaged in learning acceleration practices learned more and struggled less compared to students in classrooms that used remediation.
  • "This research gives us hope that with the right learning strategies students can catch-up and move forward with their math learning."
  • With the more traditional practice of remediation, students practice skills they did not master in previous grade-levels before moving forward.
  • Learning acceleration, by contrast, begins students with grade-level learning, and when knowledge gaps arise, provides just-in-time support connected to the grade-level lesson.
