I'm so grateful to have returned from my amazing trip to Ghana. It was an honor to participate in ASCD Ghana's International Education Summit hosted at Charles Yeboah, PhD's amazing ICS school in Accra. I was also very impressed by the work the Minister of Education, Dr. Yaw Osei Adutwum is doing to rebuild schools and prioritize education. I even had a chance to stop by the Accra Temple before heading home. Thank you Jill Harrison Berg, Charles Yeboah, PhD for your vision and execution of an amazing conference focused on the future of education.

While addressing learning gaps may lead teachers to consider abandoning their course plans entirely, over-remediation might offer only temporary gains and could impede long-term progress, ultimately leading to regression. Instead, schools can provide a pathway to mitigate widening achievement gaps while continuing to emphasize the production of high-quality work.
