In just 15 minutes and 6 seconds, less time than it takes me to walk the dog, you can learn why screening is important, how to identify which students need additional support instead of taking a “wait to fail” approach, and why the old benchmark system is about as reliable as flipping a coin.🪙 If you want to learn about screening & how to create more equitable learning outcomes for your students, learn from one of the best, @burnsmk1: youtu.be/32lFwLA3AsY?si=At6M…
