The summer learning slide is usual at the beginning of the school yea, but because of the pandemic school teachers are worried about a larger Covid learning gap. We have gone through what is the biggest disruption in education services in our country. We d be fooling ourselves if we said there weren t any students who were negatively impacted by the last year and a half, Dr. Michael Sibley with the Alabama Department of Education said.
At this time, it s unclear how big the COVID learning gap truly is because students are just now returning to schools, but teachers already know it is something they ll have to face.
