124. How can we better support students with disabilities? with Executive Director and Co-Founder of the Center for Learner Equity Lauren M. Rhim
Oct 18, 2023
The COVID-19 pandemic affected student learning across the
board. While almost all students
declined academically, a report from The Center for Learner Equity
found that students with
disabilities were especially impacted.
Students with disabilities often face wide and persistent
achievement gaps. With the more than
7 million young people with disabilities in the United States, it
begs the question of what more
we can do to support them.
What challenges do students with disabilities face? How can we
create more inclusive spaces
and services for these students to thrive? And how can we help our
schools be more equitable
and supportive when it comes to special education?
In this episode, Kevin is joined by Lauren Rhim to discuss how
we can better support students
with disabilities.
