Tutoring 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.

- 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.
