Mind the Gap: A Call to Action

Abstract In the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, findings indicate a significant gap exists in learning and social norms amongst students of all ages, backgrounds, and academic levels. This gap transpires despite teacher’s and academic leader’s best efforts to minimize disparities from the 1.5 years of virtual or atypical learning. Nevertheless, schools must now acknowledge this recent data and identify how they will address it moving forward. This Call to Action urges educational leaders, teachers, coaches and decision makers to put students first and #MindTheGap.
