Move beyond the ‘covid catch up’ narrative…
We’re pleased to announce that our CEO and author of ‘My Secret #EdTech Diary’, Al Kingsley, was recently featured on The Educator Australia with an insightful contribution discussing the ‘Covid catch up’ narrative.
The article titled, ‘Move beyond the COVID catch up narrative to help students thrive,’ examines results from Australian studies of students and parents to evaluate the impact of learning loss due to the pandemic.
Discussing the importance of moving away from the ‘covid catch up’ narrative and leveraging technology to help students thrive, Al says:
“The ‘catch-up’ narrative that has pervaded recently has only served to mount unnecessary pressure and stress on students, at a time where we should be doing all we can to alleviate student mental health issues, not add to them.”
