Dr. Gigi Luk Explores Learning Disruption During COVID-19

Dr. Gigi Luk of McGill Education's Department of Educational and Counselling Psychology has recently been involved in discussions with the National Academy of Education (NAEd) in the U.S. regarding educational inequities during COVID-19. The NAEd recently published a report exploring the effects of school disruption with regard to children's academic progress and social-emotional development as well as highlighting the more severe impact this disruption had on students in disadvantaged communities. You can read the full report here, along with the NAEd's recommended strategies for educators and parents. Dr. Luk continues her work with the NAEd as a panelist for the upcoming forum "Reading Instruction in the COVID-19 Era" on Wednesday, September 9th, 12:00 - 1:30 pm. Click here for more info and to register.
