Every student is unique. Learning paths should be too.

In part one of our 2023 LTT (long-term trend) NAEP series, we discussed the recent LTT NAEP Reading scores, and how educators can begin to address the silent reading hurdle and motivation for students within low-performing percentiles. While the reading scores had many areas of concern, the nation is seeing even less-than-desirable results in math. However, although the latest LTT NAEP results are worrisome, this may be the right opportunity for districts to take inventory of existing programs, assess their upcoming initiatives, and adjust direction to adopt or expand the most effective programs. Although some data can be disappointing, it can also serve as a powerful diagnostic tool to determine what is working well.
